Once more, a teen-comedy (starring those who have passed the teen mark a few years ago) with a concept we've seen, uh a few times before. I think what makes this one better than others on one level is the approach- I don't think we've gone this *specific* route before. DJ Qualls keeps this one from falling throught the floor completely- he deserves a lot more kudos in Hollywood. Unfortunately, for all the promise this could have had, it seems kind of hollow, and not fully developed. The jokes get slightly cheap at times, and other times seem to hit a much smarter note- if this film had just made up it's mind and decided to go all out dick-and-fart funny, or witty-ironic-satire, then it could have been great. One thing that's certain- let's see more of DJ Qualls!

Why do some people find this movie funny? I did not laugh once throughout this piece of crap excuse for a comedy.

Movie critics don't know anything anyway. They're hired to complain.

Good movie! hilarious too!

These idiots who think that a movie has to make complete sense to be funny are moron's. This movie was one of the funniest I have seen. All I have to say is, "Get over youselves, just sit back and enjoy!" Don't over think a movie like this........and don't be stupid.

This movie was funny and interesting, but there were some parts that just didn't fit at ALL. Me and my best friend Amy watched it once at her house and we both found it hilarious. But the second was as funny.

One of my favorite comedies ever. The kind of movie you'll never forget, even if it's not that original. DJ Qualls is great, as well as the rest of the crew, and Eliza Dushku's "swimsuits scene" is.... :)) If you like the 'Dude where's my car' stuff, you should love this one.
