Hilarious. Its definatly a selective type of humor, but its there. Come on, i was laughing my ass of at jamie kennedy. "you were born in june! your a *beep* gemini!". And andy dick "no more questions, wake up bitch" not to mention jack black and britnay murphys characters.
i admit, it has the worst ending of any movie i have ever seen. but its a fun comedy ya don't have to take seriously.
I gave it a 7 star rating. I thought it was a interesting movie with some good acting. Might be just that I used to smoke alot of pot but I liked it also. I would say it is a dark comedy though and not some kinda happy movie.
shareI loved it, I loved the atmosphere it set.
shareThe indirect way in which the story flowed was so much fun. Why are they so unfair to this harmless little tale? Sure it's only a 7 out of ten, but that doesn't mean it isn't fun to watch since it's so different and indirect. But most of all it has a gentle nature of making its characters go berserk so its harmlessness makes the film's detractors look mean-spirited. I think they took a different slant on telling the story which is what Independant Film making is all about; being original.
shareI think the confusion comes from the fact that the marketing company who got a hold of this misbranded it as a "Cheech and Chong" genre screwball comedy when it was just another "twenty-something" tale that was common in the independent film genre of the time. I'd expect the same reaction if in 1977 the industry had taken the finished product of Star Wars and decided to market it to middle ages women into soap operas as a love story. It is telling of the mindset of a lot of commentators that the scenes I enjoyed the least (the retarded singing and antics of Jack Black in the woods) is their favorite part. The marketers probably figured there was more money to be made in the "Cheech and Chong" genre than in another B grade entry twenty-something "guy chases quirky girl" flicks. The "Cheech and Chong" genre is guaranteed to bring a fair amount of revenue from those room temperature IQ types you see making idiotic posts here like "MAN, YOU SEE THOSE BUDS!!! MAN, HE HAD THE KIND BUDS MAN, AWESOME MAN!!!" Perhaps if they had titled the movie without some drug reference people would have expected something different. That being said it is a B rate movie, One minute Serena is walking into his house, the next minute they are breaking up from an implied love affair that never gets developed with any screen time. The whole "lovesick" melancholy following from Luke Wilson's character makes little sense without the missing scenes where something must have developed between him and the crazy chick. Some of the better scenes are with the two gay friends who are some of the only likable characters in the movie, and towards the end with two parallel scenes of Luke Wilson getting jilted in the hot tube followed by Serena waking up on Fenton's floor. I don't really think the UFO was real, it was a silly plot device to show that somehow, something is supposed to click between the two protagonists in the end and they realize they are on the same wavelength. If there had been more development of the relationship early on and less meandering scenes in the middle of the movie this might have been a better film.
shareWell put, Captain Kirk. Funny, too.
