(read more) Farce is right; awful is just my opinion. Most of the funny gags are repeated until they aren't... After 3 glasses of port on new year's eve I was slightly sauced, but not mentally slotted enough to enjoy the infantile humor, at least not for more than twenty minutes. I give 1.5 stars because, to be honest, I'm not sure the movie is 1 star material. 1 takes panache.
I'm sure it was hard to match dialogue to the original footage. If you want an unending stream of dick, freezing asshole, and fart jokes and a truly depressing attempt at romance, and you hate most of the movies I like, I recommend this. Jon pointed out that the middle aged angst about failed relationships is an unusual juxtaposition with the puerile humor, and I agree and that might recommend the movie to some people.
Here's a little orientation: I considered Beavis & Butthead clever, American Wedding fairly hilarious, and the Austin Powers movies amusing when they weren't brilliant. I can take crude jokes, but not a broken record. I suspect you might have to be high to get the full intended effect of laughing at the same joke again, again, again. What bliss.
Tired of all thoes Penguine movies? Surfs Up, March of the Penguins, Happy Feet. Here is a crude and sometimes funny "Grown up" version. You have to like the crude humer to get this one. And it is not for the kids.
this was one of the worst movie i have ever seen. Ninja squad held my attention much better than this movie.
Why not just call it Nature Documentary Movie and parody random movies (from their trailers) that have nothing to do with nature documentaries? Isn't that the usual tactic?
Yeah, you know, right in the mid. Not hilarious, amusing, but can't keep it going for too long. Bunch of friends got drunk and made a movie.
A spoof of March of the Penguins - mockumentary featuring talking penguins and narrated by Samuel L. Jackson, need I say more?
Far minusstjarnor! Var saaa dalig! Trots att kelade emellanat blev man bored to death.

Far ju Snakes on a plane att verka som Shakespeare! :-/ (BTW: mgn for dessa filmer ar Samuel L Jackson, vad sager det om hans karriar...)
There's a a line up of huge names, in a film that feels like it was created by a 10 year-old using Windows Movie Maker. It's mind-boggling really.

This is the epitome of lazy film making, and most of the humor would only amuse an immature 12 year old.
Having said that, Tracy Morgan does save it somewhat, but he's always been funny, so you'd be better off watching SNL's The Best of Tracy Morgan.
