Funny, made me laugh out loud at times, a good movie for a Friday night with a few beers.
what a funny film! a duo we've never seen before (a lovin life Indian and a workaholic asian, both with american accents!) would we be able to get away with this 30 years ago?
I find it amazing how quickly this movie went from gut-busting comedy to cringe inducing embarrassment.
Really not as bad as the title and plot make it out to be, but still pretty bad.
Cheetah - Check
Bag of weed with arms and legs - Check
Neil Patrick Harris - Check
White Castle - Double Check.
Seriously, it was good actually. I like Kal Penn's natural spontaneous talks, John adds the spice, and although it felt stupid, but really it is funny. Thank you, come again! HAHAHAHA!
It takes a true genius to make something so stupid.
I loved it! 8)
Frightfully funny!
Critic Reviews
Stretches the boundaries of offensiveness in ways that both make us laugh and make us think.full review
One secret of fiction is the creation of unique characters who are precisely defined. The secret of comedy is the same, with the difference being that the characters must be obsessed with unwholesome but understandable human desires.full review
As unsatisfying as its titular fast food chain's repulsive mini-burgers, Leiner's film shoots only for scatological silliness.full review
