    It's very funny and - at times - even witty in a crude, drunken frat-boy-with-an-epiphany kind of way.

    If you're amused by jokes involving male genitals, female pubic hair, flatulence and dismemberment, it should be a big hit.

Anyway, I had tears in my eyes for laughing so hard on this film.… Expand
