    Sandler crony Allen Covert, the star, producer and co-writer of this stunted-adolescence classic, hilariously explores a previously untapped nexus of stoner humor, joystick geekdom, elderly women and a martial arts-taught chimp.

    It's as aimless and pointless as a joke told while stoned. There are some pretty decent shock-laughs, often provided by Jones, who hasn't ever been this nasty.

    It cheerfully invites the audience to descend to their level, where no joke is too silly or raunchy, and a plot is just a way of passing time between game levels and bong hits.

    An Adam Sandler movie without Adam Sandler, it turns out, is not necessarily an improvement.

    If you like stoner movies this is by far the one that's a must see. A cult classic that is very underrated due to it's poor marketing and Opening, but hilarious from opening to end. Lots of memorable characters especially Dante(his weed dealer), Mr. Cheezel( the Boss), JP(the matrix nerd) Jeff(played by Nick Swardson) and of course, Grandma and her crew!… Expand

    This movie had no story, but it actually WAS funny. You just have to get it, seriously.

    If you have about two hours that you need to waste, $4-5 you would like to toss out the window into the wind, and for some reason lose all sense of reason, this movie might be worth seeing. If comic genius John Belushi still lived, not even he could salvage this movie. I gave the movie a 1 because I don't believe in a reality called "zero." But this movie approaches "nothingness" as closely as any comedy??? I've seen in a while.… Expand
