Wieners

The other reviewers weer clearly in it for the penis jokes, and I guess they must be brainwashed into political correctness to the point that they completely missed the gay sex jokes and several instances of penis jokes, sure it's not a very memorable movie but it was a solid one in its own right, without spoiling anything, there is a scene where the main characters are riding bumper cars at a theme park and a little girl bumps one of them into the side rail, so they all drive towards and bump her at the same time, (keep in mind that bumper cars do not move very fast and its actually difficult to get a good hit on someone) she inexplicably launches into the ceiling and not another word is mentioned of the incident. if that's not hilarious then this movie is not for you. if you just want a series of penis jokes maybe you should check out some other film.

Where's the mustard… where's the relish… where's the wieners!!!

This "movie" is a really lame attempt at a buddy/road trip movie in the vein of National Lampoon comedies. There are a few laughs, all of which come courtesy of Kenan Thompson, but it's easy to be funny when you are firing off jokes every three seconds… literally!!!

I like Kenan's work on SNL, but unfortunately his character is not interesting enough to fix this broken Wiener. His character is very annoying and he shoots almost every line in the movie like he's trying to reach the back row of a live audience. Some of his jokes do hit the mark, but suffice it to say… a little Kenan goes a long way!

The rest of the film is just okay, but there are a few gross-out scenes that drag down my rating i.e. who needs to see someone pick their butts, belly buttons, etc… and the "spit" scene - YUCK!

I'm sure there's an audience for this sophomoric attempt at comedy, but I think even the most juvenile of audiences won't find much to laugh at with this wienie attempt of a movie.

The movie starts well enough: A guy, arguing with his girlfriend, ends up on the show of a thinly veiled Dr. Phil to help work through the relationship. However, this episode has a twist. Some time later, our hero spends his days sitting in his underwear watching and re-watching that same episode. To snap him out of his funk his friend, who just bought a weinermobile, proposes a road trip---to travel across the country and kick the good doctor's ass! The film, however, is unable to keep the momentum going behind this interesting concept and things quickly devolve into crappy physical humor, some running gay jokes, a lewd reference here and there, and some awkward situations that bore more than they amuse. All of which serves as nothing more than an attempt to bulk out the film because clearly the writers ran out of good ideas. The ending is also a somewhat disappointing muddled mess that leaves viewers with the distinct impression that they just lost 90 minutes of their life that they're never going to get back.

Former child star & current SNL cast member Kenan Thompson plays the happy-go-lucky hot doggatier Wyatt and greatly outshines the rest of the cast. Despite his best efforts, however, even he can't pull laughs out of this mess. The only two other faces you might recognize in the film are Jenny McCarthy (of Mtv fame) and Darrell Hammond (who plays the thinly veiled Dr. Phil parody). All three perform admirably in their roles. However, the leading man, Zach Levi (aka Chuck on the NBC comedy of the same name) could have easily been replaced with a sack of potatoes in the majority of scenes and nobody would ever have noticed.

If you're going to see Wieners, if you watch the first 10 or 15 minutes then fast forward to the last 10 (or, because you're going to probably see this on TV, watch something else for a while) you might enjoy the film.

I can say there were a few times I laughed..... like 3 times in the movie. The rest of the movie I was left wondering wow how in the world could a comedy be this bad. Cool to see Chris Pratt a year before he started in Parks and Recs and Zachary Levi before Chuck. Other than that....... you might want to pass on this weird dumb comedy.

Another reviewer Jackpollins had the best description so I'll only say a few things for myself. I love adventure flicks & I love adventures in real life, so this is a nice treat! It's not as bad as the ratings perceive, at the same time it's not as good as most adventure comedies like The Hangover, Road Trip, Due Date, or Wild Hogs. With that being said "Wieners" is a great cheesy goofball movie & don't mind me, on some subjects I'm very quirky, anyway glad this came on Showtime I highly recommend giving it a chance.
