Chris Z. gave it a 10:

Rach B. gave it a 10:
This movie was funny as hell. Note to Janine D who was offended by the Filipino comment: Rob Schneider is actually part Filipino.
Sunny S. gave it a 2:
Not a really good example of the comedy genre. The actors were ok but the plot was awful. This particular script could have had quite a bit of potential to be somewhat mediocre but as we can see it lacks any real punchlines, good visuals, stunts or subplots. The film tries to emphasise on the zero to hero transition of the lead character (Rob Schneider) but one couldn't care. As for the comedy it is mainly Rob Schneider miming to some animal sound effects which was ok the 1st time you see it but is heavily overused in the film which makes you wonder wether you could've wrote a better script. To sumerise it, should one find the DVD at any retailer, it comes in handy under the leg of a rocking table.
Tom L. gave it a 4:
Cheap and Predictable.
Brad H. gave it a 6:
Stupid, Yes. But it had some really funny moments. And it's not like I was expecting "Das Boot."
Maxine R. gave it a 6:
A lot of funny jokes! But a bad ending.
