    My friend even supplied a blurbable quote: "The best dumbass-buddy comedy I've seen since "Wayne's World!"
  2. What holds the movie together -- albeit tenuously -- is the surprisingly sweet-natured pairing of Jesse and Chester.
  3. Don't tell Mom, but everybody seems stoned.

    There's a benign, peace-loving air about it all that forces you to accept and embrace the film's two central characters.
  5. Tasteless at times, but where's the yuck?
  6. 40
    A film where everyone -- white, black, gay or otherwise -- is equally, lovably dumb.

    Just another lame slacker comedy.

    Aimed squarely at adolescents who might find "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" too intellectually taxing.
  9. 40
    Writer Philip Stark ("That '70s Show") and director Danny Leiner ("Freaks and Geeks") apply mature comic instincts to an adolescent genre.

    If you accept the film on its own brain-damaged level, there actually are laughs to be had.
  11. At the end of 83 unmerciful minutes, audiences will be exclaiming, "Dude, I can't believe I sat through that movie!?" Stick to the trailer.
  12. An almost chuckle-free mess, so amateurish and lame that the cast often has that embarrassed look you see on dogs given ridiculous haircuts.
  13. Any civilization that can produce a movie this stupid probably deserves to be hit by famine and pestilence.
  14. The definition of aiming low is when the John Hughes film you're ripping off is ''Weird Science."

    None, repeat, none of this is funny.

    In the real audience with which I watched it, the only laughs were from kids under eight or nine, mostly at hilarious "hooter" jokes.
