   My rating is for those who have never seen the TV show. For avid fans of the cult series - such as myself - the rating would be about a 6. The film is full of great jokes and boasts a stellar cast, but a fan of the show would expect more. A lot of the jokes are recycled - something I don't mind - but there aren't enough new ones. I also miss the overly dramatic music, of which there was very little. Regardless, I still own the dvd. However, the TV series is much, much better.… Expand

   If you loved the tv show, you will want to see the movie. But don't expect to be taken beyond "more of the same." What was one of the smarter, more joyful, and creative cable efforts of the last decade remains enjoyable, but unevolved in this "prequel." Many gags are recycled from the series, which is fine, but leaves one mourning what could have been. Unfortunately, the team breaks what didn't need to be fixed. Where is Roberto Gari's wide-eyed claw-handed Guy Blank? The part as written for Dan Hedaya is completely blank and a waste of his talent. Missing is any chemistry between Jerri and Derrick (much more engagingly played by Larc Spies in the series) and Jerri-Megawatt-y relationship doesn't work as well as Jerri-Orlando. While the series felt kind of loosely edited, it was chock full of moments to be discovered in mutliple viewings. The movie elicited laughs from the audience, but those laughs were further apart and more forced than I have scene from the tv series. Overall, a disappointment, but fans of Sedaris will always want more.… Expand

   Not the worst movie I've ever seen, but pretty lame. I would say it's probably not going to appeal to many people over the age of 45. If you like your humour more on the witty/dark side than silly/mean, stay away. Really just pretty stupid and a waste of some not bad talent.… Expand
