When I saw this movie the first time I thought it was soso. Since I'm a listener to Mike Oldfield I thought I'm going to give another chance. I looked at it again this time when I wasn't tired. What a super movie! The jokes gets so lost in the translations so you shouldn't watch it if can't follow the English. Obviously you have to have a certain sense of humor to really appreciate a movie like this. It's not the plumpness in the jokes made by Jake's partner but instead the total charm of these dim-wits who try to make it. I told my friend at the pub about the last joke "as long as I have a face..." and I got a couple of good laughs from some girls that overheard our conversation. A movie I really recommend.

I see something new every time I watch it .. you blew who ? I think this is one of the funniest movies ever made ..We have had parties just to view this film ..This has some great actors and comics in it ..You can and will be offended , but that is part of this movies charm .. This is Pauli Rodriguez's best role ever ...Eddie Deezen is great .. It is a movie to have fun with .. SO you have to sit down and wonder to your self ? do fish have .....? And what page was Eddie told to go to ? What makes good Frisbee's ? Where did Peabody go to ? what the hell is crosscut's ? And you probably will want to keep this away from the kids and great grand ma !
This was by far one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. It is SO 1980's. This movie is SOOO politically incorrect and is chocked full vulgarities, innuendos, and just overall silliness. The fact that this movie is an "Equal Opportunity Offender" is what makes it so great. Don't watch this movie if you cant take a joke.
If you are ready for 88 minutes of laughter at the expense of crude jokes and questionable acts with food (you will never look at a roasted turkey or a roasted pig in the same manner ever again), then go and rent this movie.
Please keep in mind that the production studio has not yet released this to DVD, so if you go looking for it at your local video store, check the VHS section. *Peace in your 'hood* - The Infochick

One of, if not the, funniest movies I've ever seen. The downside is the humor is rude, uncooth, foul-mouthed, nasty, sexual innuendos, stupid and just plain idiotic!! Guaranteed to make anybody laugh if they can stomach it. 8 pts.

A great movie if you understand what you are getting into. Check your brain and all shreds of rational thinking at the door. The acting is over the top and the serious dialogue is completely unbelievable as there really is no true point to this movie. That is precisely why I love it.
Long before Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels made idiocy popular on the big screen with "Dumb and Dumber", two enterprising men, Paul Rodriguez and Michael O'Keefe, strove to make completely base humor acceptable to the American masses. They definitely succeeded. These two (and the able supporting cast) make what easily could have been a poor movie into something funny. One has to wonder exactly how much ad-libbing was going on in this one (at least on Rodriguez' part).
Don't miss the charm school scene with the wine tasting. The only other time I had fallen out of my chair laughing was when Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels were trying to douse the fire of the peppers in their hamburgers with ketchup and mustard. Those of you who have attentively observed both will understand what I mean.
