Critics hated it, so I know I'll love it. Looks damned funny.

I dislike America more after watching this movie. I had to leave halfway through it for two reasons.

A) It was godawful.

B) People were rolling as if it was the first time they had seen There's Something About Mary... and rolling at things that were in the commercials at that.

A real head-scratcher to me how this movie is making so much money. A bunch of fat jokes inserted into a script ripped right off of Die-Hard almost scene for scene is high comedy these days?

Oh well, at least I got to see a bunch of people in Cardinals jerseys at the theater. That was awesome!

You rock cheese.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I wish watching crap movies like this made people infertile. That would be awesome population control.

Saw it at the drive-in last weekend. Despite being super cheesy, it was entertaining. It's no Super Troopers though.

+2. I doubt I would watch the Bluray if it were free.

Every movie doesn't have to be cinematic genius for people to enjoy it. I like Kevin James from KofQ which I watched for years so the movie was enjoyable while not being great.

I wasn't expecting cinematic genius, but I wasn't expecting a pile of crap to be stuffed down my throat either.

hell, it's not like I can't enjoy bad comedies. I LOVED Sex Drive. I'm probably the only person on the board who even saw that sucker in the theaters.

this movie was just awful though. just my opinion.

I like Kevin James in KoQ too. Doesn't mean that I will like him in this movie.

The wife and I caught this yesterday..... While hardly something I would keep in my film library, it was nonetheless entertaining and had a number of laugh out loud moments. Cheesy? Yep. Predictable? Yep. Some really awkward feeling moments? Yep. But in spite of all that, it was still enjoyable. My wife went with a chip on her shoulders: She was going to make sure she didn't like it. But she ended up laughing and enjoying it... especially the second half of the movie.

No Oscars or being bequeathed with classic status for this one. But damned few other movies rate 'em either..... 3 out of 5 stars.

Want the greatest movie but it was entertaining.. Some really cheesy parts.. And some WTF moments.. Like the part where his daughter just strolls in the mall oblivious to whats going on or how the police seemily didnt have that part of the mall roped off.. But it was suppose to be a goofy movie, and it succeeded.. I laughed pretty hard about 5 times in the movie.. :thumbup: And no cheese, it wasnt any of the commercial drops that had me laughing .. :D

My only regret is I was not drunk while watching this movie.

I would like to know where skater punks get trained to be ninjas and genius computer hackers.

My 11 year old daughter asked if we could leave after about 40 minutes, needless to say she didn't have to ask twice.

My wife "rented" this from redbox. Needless to say I was PISSED when she never returned it and we had officially bought this garbage. This will never get played again.

Funniest parts of the movie you already had seen in the previews. What a disappointment.

Horrible, just horrible. One of the worst I have seen in a while.

Worse than Gran Torino.

Wow I didn't think it was great but my girlfriend and I were laughing quite often. It was what I expected.

Loved Gran Torino.
