I cannot say that this is a well constructed film. The plot isn't even that impressive, at all. but what can't be denied is that this film is funny. I don't know about hilarious, but i certainly laughed a lot in it. And i was not the only one in the whole theatre doing so. So, while some people are writing massive articles slamming this film, remember, it is not meant to be an epic masterpiece or spectacular film. it is meant to be stupid and funny, and it certainly was that. It certainly suffered from lazy script writing, but no one was trying for an Oscar here. This is a pretty funny film, and the laughs in it cannot be denied. To close this argument we only need the name of one character. Ipod.
N.B. this film should not be compared to Dodgeball, they are not in the same league
