Summary

RATING: R for pervasive strong and crude sexual content, gross-out humor, language and brief drug use

Starring Brendan Fehr, Chris Klein, Cobie Smulders, Chandra West, Nicole McKay, Alejandro Rae, Roger Haskett, and Dustin Milligan

Overworked? Undersexed? So is advertising executive Ed Waxman (Fehr), who must come up with a great new ad campaign within 48 hours or he'll be fired. But his babe magnet brother, Cooper (Klein), has other ideas: to get his stressed-out brother laid. (Gold Circle Films)

LA Weekly Luke Y. Thompson

Rather than simply releasing the uncomfortably amusing clips on DVD as a "Jackass"-style compilation, executive producer Vin Di Bona and Gold Circle Films president Paul Brooks have spliced them into the umpteenth unfunny cinematic variation of the "sensitive guy and obnoxious womanizing best friend try to get laid" story, with nary a laugh to be had unless you're one of those who finds toilet scenes and prison-rape jokes to be automatically hilarious.

The Hollywood Reporter Sheri Linden

Bottom line: A soft-hearted gross-out pic. If you're not a male between 17 and 23 and don't find the chance to see R-rated rejects from "America's Funniest Home Videos" a good thing, The Long Weekend will be a long and pointless haul.
