Just saw it; really funny. Dane Cook is the man.



Anyone else seen it yet?
 
Looks like crap. Reviews confrim my suspicion.
 
I refuse to see a film that would dare to insult my intelligence in such a blatant manner. Dane Cook is incredibly unfunny, he has but a few truly funny bits IMO. Jessica Simpson can't do anything more than look good. I don't know who Dax Shepard is, but if he willingly allows himself to star in dreck like this, he mustn't be any good either.

Bottom line: spend your money on something more worthwhile. Like The Departed.
 
I wanted to see it because of Dane Cook. But the movie doesn't interest me at all.
 
I saw it. Doesnt seem like they let Dane Cook go off script at all, and it should have been about half an hour shorter, because the pacing was off for a comedy.
 
I don't trust films like these; if I see it, it's on dvd, and only because I'm company, and the owner or the group wanted to watch it. Even then, I'll probably leave, but I hope the fans enjoyed it.
 
Dane should stick to stand-up.
That's great, but when he has to be leveled down for movies and SNL, he's terrible.

People shouldn't go see this just because Dane is in it.

Now I definitely will see The Departed. My friends love Dane Cook though, so...

I disagree. Dane Cook is a truly talented individual, and given the right movie role, he could be great. Just look at some of his comedy bits, where he essentially acts out his stories, often doing more than one person at once.

This is just an unfunny movie, and it's not his fault. A lot of famous actors star in crap movies that make them look bad. This is Dane's first starring role, so I'm giving him a break. He's got a lot more movies on the way, and many more will come soon. He'll bounce back. I can even see him pulling off drama.

So do mine. I personally find him to be incredibly annoying and unfunny. My friends re-enact this whole "What do you say when an athiest sneezes" bit he apparently does. They find it funny. I find it incredibly cliched and stupid.
 
I thought the movie was really funny.

I needed a good laugh, after seeing the disturbing "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning" earlier.
 
I wouldn't refuse to watch this movie, but I sure am not going to see it in the theater.
 
I made a thread like this, comicgirl!!! :mad:
