    To laugh at parts of this film would indicate one has a streak of Woodcockism in oneself. But to gaze in stupefied fascination is perfectly understandable. That's what makes Thornton such a complex actor.

    There aren't that many laugh-out-loud jokes in this comedy, yet Billy Bob Thornton's portrayal of ass-kicking gym coach Mr. Woodcock is almost worth the price of admission.

    It goes without saying that the humor is vulgar and juvenile.

    Takes some steam to get "funny", and when it finally does get "funny" the "funny" really isn't that "funny."

    Its typical that we see something like this - An overall generic comedy with an experianced cast. There are very few funny moments in this film and it does get rather stale but the cast makes the film a lot better then what it should have been. Its just a below average comedy really. Something you watch when you are up late at night and have nothing better to do.… Expand
