This movie follows a simple formula with the premise of a love him or hate him actor cast as an unlikable hero. Perhaps you've noticed this formula in Borat, The Waterboy, or Joe Dirt. At it's heart the movie does a decent job portraying unbelievable characters in unbelievable situations. So much so that the movie has an absurd aura that ends up begging the audience to not take it seriously. With that aside I myself focused on the jokes and little things I did enjoy. I laughed several times (especially at Kevin Nealon) and found a few other things to be entertained by. At first glance the movie is garbage, however like the aforementioned titles, this movie is funny beyond that and will probably age well. Remember what people were saying when Joe Dirt first came out?
