    One of my all time favorites. Some people complain about the way it kind of juggles the multiple characters and stories, but the way it gracefully ties every plot line together borders genius. No stone is left unturned in this clever, witty, and simply hilarious movie. If you want to a Guy Ritchie style film with Chuck Palahniuk type narration and dialogue then this is the film for you. You won't get enough of this one.… Expand

    A wonderful romp with a large and excellent cast. Laughed a lot. Rarity--it was as good as the book.

    This movie gets better every time we watch it as there are so many characters (several of them fast talking) and great lines that it was hard to appreciate them all at one time. My husband and I have watched this DVD many times and we just crack up! We really appreciate how American pop culture is integrated into the movie -- Martha, the Discovery Channel, etc. We highly recommend this film for any adults who need a night of laughter.… Expand

    Did a lot of wonderful, healthy laughing out loud in this movie, and it put me in a good mood for days.

    Good cast wasted in sophomoric, uneven comedy. A few funny moments don't make up for the far-fetched, cartoonish script and clunky direction.

    I think the American critics need to take that stick out of your arse as i found this amusing. Not all Films have to be blockbusters, this film had me laughing in parts expecialy the cops "standing there with their d**ks in their hands."

    A movie for us South Floridians, and a mostly hillarious one at that.

    Generally unpolished and harmless comedy. But watch for Siobhan Fallon Hogan, delicious as the airline ticket agent.

    A mediocre movie that will be wiped from its stars' résumés with head-spinning speed.

    What remains discomforting is their sheer failure to be funny.

    A gleefully overplotted crime yarn that channels in sanitized form the perverse subtropical-noir sensibilities of Carl Hiassen.
