The part where Luke Wilson's character is tripping and sees his dead mother is the best. I didn't find any of the characters sympathetic since they're all stupid, although I did think Jeremy Sisto and Andy Dick (as a gay couple) provided a chuckle or two. Jack Black and Brittany Murphy are annoying to the point you want to turn the movie off, but that's really how I see any of their work.
About as good as I figured. I am a usually like these kind of movies but this was dumb.
Pretty solid low budget comedy with some good performances. Jack Black and Brittany Murphy stood out from many funny characters and cameos.
Definitely not what I was expecting, the story is bland, few laughs, and a tad bit annoying. Decent at most.
i cant believe Jack Black, Luke Wilson and Brittany Murphy were able to get on screen in another film after being in this
Pretty funny at times, especially Jack Black's character. And Andy Dick wasn't totally annoying in this one. There are some gaps in the plot development, tenuous relationships, etc. But all in all, kinda entertaining.

Favorite part for sure is the 80s party scene.
Tripe. Heroically poor script, complete with inappropriate, gratuitous rape scene.
Bongwater is exactly what you hope for: brainless humor. I just wish I had a nice fat one while watching this, it really requires a stoned mind. ;)
