    While it may not be up to par with the TV series, it does generate laughs and is a far cry better than most summer comedies I've seen. Sedaris and Colbert really shine in this film. Some of the cameos hit and some miss, but overall a great time at the movies.

    Fans of the show will rejoice and a few newbies will become converts. In this heightened reality, there are no rules except to get the laugh. And they do, incessantly.

    When it comes to rude comedy, one person's caviar is another's smelly fish gunk. A case in point is Strangers With Candy.

    Strangers With Candy -- a perfect title -- is filled with straight-faced loonies. It's a nutcake you actually want to eat.
