    It's not about incest

    In the beginning of the movie, when they develop their relationship, they are unaware of any possibility that they might be brother and sister; therefore it is highly misrepresentative to say this is a movie about incest. This movie definitely shows how people can be closed-minded and cruel. This movie is also another rip-off to the extent that it starts nice and sweet but becomes outrageously extreme. I liked the first part but it was very difficult for me to watch the last of it. The ending I think was nice but I was not paying a lot of attention then.

    This movie is definitely an example of something that would be more with less; less outrageous would make it much more enjoyable, especially since Heather Graham is so cute.

    Truly a Farrelly Brothers movie

    When I first found out about this title I first observed the reviews, and surprisingly they were unsatisfactory and negative, and along with that the movie had a bad Meta-score with top news outlets speak of bad, lacklustre comedy but if you look past the 25 Meta-score and view the movie as a witty, cheesy comedy made by the all time favourite brothers you'll soon like it. So many people view the movie in a way that isn't, and to say it isn't so, just watch it with the mind set that it's a comedy and nothing else.

    This Movie needs more credit

    This movie is one that you can watch with friends at that time of the night where anything is funny. Not to say this movie isn't any good, but at that time, you can better appreciate the small, not as funny parts about it. A good movie that my friends and I recite to take away the bore of the day. Such as the group therapy scene, well done, one that keeps you laughing even when the scene is far gone. Farrelly Brothers continue to please in this cheap laugh comedy, that made us love the brothers in the first place.

    Underrated

    This was a nice silly movie that had a few laughs and brought me back to the gold old days of the 00s the story was new easy to follow nice cast I happen to really like the guy from American pie and heather graham she's pretty and a great actress also was pretty good in the spy who shagged me the only actress i really really really really didn't like was sally field she over acted so much that it got very irritating Orlando Jones was the funniest as the amputee all the jokes landed right and it had a very nice ending being cure and vulgar didn't take away from it anyone who wants a silly but light hearten movie to watch take a look at this it nothing special but you will end happy

    decent

    I found this movie funnier than I expected. Chris Klein and Heather Graham are adequate in the leads, and Klein's character finds himself falling in love with Graham's. When he finds out they might actually be brother and sister, they have to call it off. A while later, Klein learns that it is all a big mistake, but by this time Graham is engaged to marry another man. Klein then sets out to try to break up that wedding, getting into one jam after another, including a mental hospital, prison, and several fights with the redneck townsfolk.

    If you can excuse mild raunchiness and an occassional painful-looking moment, you might like this one.
