Hell Baby




Recently my brothers have been introducing me to a couple of very fine comedians on the internet, and these people are known as Key and Peele.  I do declare that these are funny individuals, and I thought to myself “wouldn’t it be funny if they expanded their talents to the cinema, instead of doing shows on… Foodnetwork? I dunno.  The taller guy from Key and Peele (I forget their names as much as I forget to flush the toilet) join up with the rest of the cast from Rapture Palooza in a movie that spoofs Rosemary’s Baby, The Omen, It’s Alive, Lords of Salem and House of the Devil.  When a new and extremely WHITE couple moves into a house nicknamed “house of blood” in a neighborhood that is about as Ghetto as Lil Wayne’s face, you know you’re going to get a movie that’s freakin hilarious, and that makes about as much sense as one of those people who live in a broken down trailer but still manage to own a brand new Cadillac.  The two newcomers to the broken down street are Jack and Vanessa, and not only do they get a new home that resembles a building Hobos use to go BM in, but they are also expecting twins!  After a while Vanessa begins demonstrating some “not so normal” behavior, which includes behaving like a Stepford wife, eyes going black, speaking like the little girl in the Exorcist, and trying to feed her husband poison while disguising it as wine.  It’s at this time that they call upon two of the coolest Priests from Rome who wear sunglasses as much as the Blues Brothers, and smoke more than those chimney sweepers dancing upon the rooftops in Mary Poppins.  This is a HILARIOUS spoof from the makers of Reno 911 that is both funny and engaging enough for it to be worthy of multiple viewings.

Rapture-Palooza




Is it just me, or is that Anna Kendrick girl in every freakin movie?!  Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate the girl, and if anything I think she is more often than not the best actor in the movie she’s participating in.  This movie cracked the crap out of me!!  I forgot that they can make movies this witty and full of so many innuendo jokes that make my throat hurt from laughing so much (and no that wasn’t an innuendo joke there).  Craig Robinson stars in yet another film involving rapture and the Apocalypse after just finishing up with This Is The End, and he is Utterly hilarious (cow innuendo) as the lord of darkness himself, who’s only objective is to seduce Anna Kendrick with his highly inappropriate comments and lack of respect for humanity.

The Dilemma



Overview:  Ronny and James are the best of friends, and both have landed relationships with babes, or did they?  Ronny had the unfortunate experince of seeing James' wife cheating on him with a G. I. Joe, and because he doesn't want to discourage him during their huge deal with a car company, he keeps it a secret about as awkwardly as a 6-year old red head who had just stolen a snickers bar from a Marathon station.

The Good:  C and I were pleasently suprised how good this movie was.  I haven't broken the truth to many people that their spouses are cheating on them, but according to Vince Vaughn it's quite the crappy position to be in.  Winona Ryder has finally dropped the "I'm shoplifting for my hubbie Edward Scissorhands" mojo, and has now turned into the unlovable tramp we always knew she would.  Channing Tatum went back to his stripper roots in order to do a really good job being a white-trash home-wrecker, and I don't fully know the reasons why I like this man, especially since he was in that piece of crap also called "G.I. Joe", but I have a great feeling that he'll be the next Rock/Schwarzenegger.  Vince Vaughn delivers a good role once again, and although it isn't as funny as all of his crashing in "Wedding Crashers", he did a good enough job that I would take him to get unlimited bread-sticks at Olive Garden.

The Bad:  It's not that I don't like overweight comedians, because Chris Farley and I used to be tight, and I've always been a fan of Kevin James on "King of Queens".  For some reason Kevin James dances in every movie, which as far as i'm concerned started with "Hitch", but now it's starting to get old.  Now whenever I see him dance (which he does a lot in this movie), I want to revisit my days preparing for a colonoscopy where poop and upchucking comes like Niagara falls.  Jennifer Connelly for some reason falls short in this movie, it might be because it's mostly centered around Vince and Kevin and Winona's flusie ways, so it seems  that Connelly doesn't have much to contribute.  The biggest problem this movie had was it's marketing.  C and I were always confused when we saw the trailer for this because it looked like it was trying to be the next "Dumb and Dumber", and then we realized it was a drama film with only a handful of laughs; we were mislead like we were with O. J. Simpson's book.

The Ugly:  Don't go see this movie thinking that it's going to be the next "Dumb and Dumber", because that will ruin everything for you.  This was a great drama-filled flick that kept C and I interested all the way through.

Dylan Dog: Dead of Night



Overview:  My home-dog Dylan Dog is just your normal detective with the perfect blend of cool "Dragnet" type qualities you would expect, except he sort of has a thing for securing justice among the undead and hairy wolves; he's like a less cool version of "Hellboy".  When another rich-white collector is murdered it sets off a string of unnatural and violent events among the "Monster" community, and it's up to our "Dick Tracy" wannabe to make sure the world doesn't become completely screwed.  All at the same time Dylan helps his friend Marcus come to terms with his new undead makeover, and also to overcome the gag-reflex that comes with his new diet.

The Good:  I love "Dick Tracy" styled movies about as much as the next self-respecting American, because they're just plain awesome.  I love the whole nonchalant attitude that Dylan (played by Superman) gives off, and can I expect any less from an awesome detective? Nada.  It's no surprise to the world that I have a love affair with the Horror Genre, and they are my second love after my beloved wife... then after horror it would have to be nasty buffet food; what can I say I'm patriotic, but I digress.  It makes me happy to know that this is a Horror movie I can show to people who get scared easy, because it's also a comedy that succeeds in being silly all throughout.  Although I'm sure it did scare my young nieces who are still under the age of WAY YOUNG!  Their future night terrors will destroy my status of being an awesome uncle... *Sigh*.

The Bad: Besides possibly terrifying my nieces, this movie just wasn't that exciting.  I wasn't expecting it to have many GOOD scares since it's a Horror/Comedy and all, but I was excited to possibly witness something semi-scary.  Did I find these scary scenes? nope, I was left at the bottom of the pit while being asked to put lotion on.  There were some funny moments, but Sam Huntington's sarcastic comic relief could only go so far, and I knew at some point that he would die in the movie, and I guess technically he did; get it? HE WAS UNDEAD!! I wish I could say something bad about Brandon Routh since it was his movie, but the only people I can blame are the filmmakers for giving him such bad material to work with, because it seemed all he was trying to do was save the movie from taking a crap on itself.  When the movie ends you get one of those anti-climatic feelings that make you want to slam your head against the wall for some excitement, which I didn't do; that welt on my head is a birthmark.

The Ugly:  The only time I would advise seeing this movie is if you're with a bunch of drunken fraternity friends and you have nothing else to talk about, in other words make sure your're in a campy mood and don't expect too much.  A wise Billboard once said "Set your goals low, that way you won't be disappointed with bad results later".  This is what you must do with "Dylan Dog: Dead of Night", and that way you can enjoy it a little bit more

Fantastic Mr. Fox



Overview:  The same fox from "Grizzley Man" lost his hat stealing job ever since Timothy Treadwell was mauled by the bear, and now he's turned towards a comedic career path.  In this delightful film, Mr. Fox and his hot foxy-wife decide to drop their chicken stealing profession once Mr. Fox found out his wife was impregnated.  Bored with his life, Mr. Fox and his yet to be road-killed possum friend begin stealing chickens again, but the three owners won't stand for this.  Now that he's placed his family and the rest of the rodent population in jeapordy, it's up to Mr. Fox to help save the day and prove once and for all that he truly is fantastic!

The Good:  I may not be the biggest Wes Anderson fan ever, and I especially hated The Royal Tenenbaums, but I was completely taken by suprise with how funny this movie was.  Technically it's only George Clooney's voice, but this has to be my favorite movie he's ever been in, it took a lot to beat "Batman and Robin".  The humor is spot-on all throughout, and all the actors (especially Bill Murray) were inspired.  I was a little skeptical of the quality of the animation just because I have a hard time liking any stopmotion pictures that aren't done by either Tim Burton or Henry Selick, but the skittish and sometimes silly animation only added to the dry sense of humor that Wes Anderson provides.

The Bad:  There are many things that I like dry in the world, including: my bed (but I haven't pee'd it in over a week), Potato chips, and clothing.  Some of the things I don't like too dry includes: Chicken, my mouth, and comedy movies.  I did love this movie a lot, and I often found myself laughing, but just like with every other Wes Anderson movie there are parts that need to be a little bit more moist (much like a normal BM... what? I have Crohn's!!).

The Ugly:  This was a joyfull movie that's perfect for families because it has action and humor that everyone can enjoy.  If you want to get the most out of this flick make sure you have a chore to do around the house, just in case you find some parts a little slow.  When all is said and done, I liken this movie unto a block of cheese and crackers... DELICIOUS!!!

30 Minutes or Less



Overview: Being a pizza delivery guy once again proves to be one of the worst professions ever! After Nick delivers a delicious pizza to a couple doofuses dressed up like cast members from "Planet of the Apes", they knock him out and he wakes up with a bomb strapped to his chest; and this time he can't pull an "Iron Man" and get out of it.  the two bozos named Dwayne and Travis want to get rich but don't want to get their hands dirty, so they get nick and his friend to steal the money for them because he was such a speedy pizza delivery guy;

The Good:  This movie made my funny bone go absolutely bananas!!!  Much like "Horrible Bosses" there wasn't a single actor in this movie that wasn't funny (in my opinion), even Mark Zuckerberg was hilarious.  The Scene that was particularly joyful was the actual bank robbery scene (don't freak out, it's in the trailers), where the lady throws the gun to the wall and it shoots the man in the foot; "Who throws a gun like that?!!!"  My special appreciation goes out to Aziz Ansari, who single handily saves every slightly boring moment in the movie by saying something so stupid that my IQ drops 10 points, and now i der ner how spell?  The bad guys were quite joyful, and the only bad thing they did was waste a perfectly formed pizza.

The Bad:  Although C and I thought this movie was funny, it wasn't exactly funny ALL the way through.  There were some parts that I thought the movie was going to fail, had it not been for Aziz Ansari's brilliant stupidity to save the day (see people, being a nerd does have it's perks).  One last problem C and I had with this flick was that there was no real in-depth plot, and instead you got what you were expecting.

The Ugly:  This may not be the biggest kids movie ever, and it may not have the widest plot, but it is so funny I came that close (and that's pretty close) to lizzing.  Anyone who graduates from High School and refuses to do anything with their live should see this movie before taking action, because the only benefits you get are wasted pizzas, dorky friends, and picking each other's noses.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules



Overview:  Our favorite middle-school pib-squeak (Greg) feels he’s ready for a new year, and there couldn’t possibly be any more changes… At least until he reaches twelve; then your body starts to change and looks more like Chewbacca.   Like every other middle child in the world, he realizes that his older sibling is possessed by the Devil and has an objective to beat the living crap out of him.  Sparks almost fly when Greg meets the love of his middle-school life, but will his brother allow such cheesy affection?

The Good:  Everyone who’s human would agree that middle-school is a living Hell, and only the lucky droidish-preps enjoyed it.  When C and I saw the first “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” we were amazed of how realistic it was, like we actually felt all the pain Greg was going through… well maybe we were just laughing at him, but I know we felt something right?  Every character is funny and there isn’t a single bad actor in this movie, but C and I would have to agree our favorite is the fat little red-head named Rowley.  This beefy child is the light of my life, the onions to my liver, the crohns to my intestine, and the Hermione to my Ron.  Everything this kid does was hilarious, and even when he’s not doing anything you can’t help but laugh because he’s so realistic and comfortable with himself.  Last but not least, you have to admire the nerdy red-head with Harry Potter glasses because he’s so awkward in everything he does, and if you add a leash then you would see me as a child.

The Bad:  Honestly for the first time I can’t think of anything bad about this movie… I could say something about the teenage romance, but then I’d be repeating myself from the “Beastly” review and that stuff doesn’t really apply to this movie.  This is more like a bunch of pre-teens being attracted to each other and they don’t even know what it is they’re attracted to, for all they know it could be each other’s nose hair that’s making them feel all cuddly inside.

The Ugly:  The “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” series is perfect for normal families, for very dysfunctional families I’d recommend something like “American Pie” or “Rambo”.  People of all ages can get something from this movie.  Teenagers will finally think to themselves “Finally! These Hollywood Butt-munchers get me!”, and adults will say “Glad we’re not stuck in that limbo anymore eh?”

Bridesmaids



Overview:  Life is pretty dang shabby for Annie, considering the fact that her bakery store sunked during the recession, no one loves her, and she lives with two British roommates that look like those people you'd see on "Hoarders".  As if things couldn't get any worse, Annie's BFF Lillian is getting married to a stud-muffin and she was asked to be the Maid of Honor, now it's going to get crazy all up in here!

The Good:  Much like "Horrible Bosses" C and I laughed all the way through, and I think I may have had an accident, but for my reputation's sake i'm going to blame it on the popcorn butter leaking all over.  The entire cast was SO funny with Kristen Wiig as the lead, but the person who stole practically EVERY scene was Melissa McCarthy.  In real life I'm sure she's a very pretty woman that you would want to hug about as much as the Easter Bunny, but in this movie she's made to be so disgusting that you end up loosing all faith in humanity, and almost end up jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge.  In every scene she would come up with the most random tomboyish lines, that you'll no doubt be quoting for days.  It takes a lot for me to say this, but someone else who deserves some praise is Chris O'Dowd, who plays as Kristen Wiig's lover.  I don't think very many people heard of this man, but he had a breakthrough role in this one.  His main talent in this movie was not only making fun of cops, but also lightening the mood when Annie's life became a bit too chaotic.  I said it took a lot for me to say something about him, because just the other night I had a frightening Nightmare and he was in it!  I'm not going to discuss the details because it will scare me, but i'm sure there are some of you out there who already know.

The Bad:  When I said this movie made me laugh all the way through I was mostly right.  There was a part during the climax of the movie where it wasn't "as" funny because they were trying to get all the emotional stuff out of the way, that way it could be a legitimate movie.  Really there was nothing I thought was bad about this movie, and the only reason I gave the previous statement was to bring at least some "con" into the review.

The Ugly:  Other than Melissa McCarthy's hilariuosly disgusting character, the movie isn't that ugly.  For those fo you who have lost your faith in chick-flicks, fret no more, because this movie will make you squeal like a pig about to enter the slaughter house (I assume they're excited); you won't have to worry about seeing Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan making out somewhere onscreen, and I sing praises every day for that.

Horrible Bosses


Overview:  Each day at work is a living Hell for Nick, Dale, and Kurt as they deal with bosses that resemble spawns of Satan.  Eventually they get so mad that veins are about to pop out of their neck, so they decide to hire a heavily tattooed Jamie Foxx, and with his (not so great) help they set out to end the bloodthirsty reigns of their grade-A-butt-muncher bosses.

The Good:  C and I always enjoy a good comedy that we can ‘laugh our kidneys off’ all the way through, and “Horrible Bosses” was one of those precious treasures.  Seeing Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, and Jason Sudeikis together is a revelation, and whoever was in charge of casting deserves Twinkies and free enema’s for life.  C and I had a hard time finding out which one of the three was the funniest, because they were all so good.  Jason Sudakis came out with some of the most gut-busting one-liners ever, and Jason Bateman had the don’t-screw-me-over attitude all throughout.  The person who deserves the most recognition is Charlie, who plays as the very quirky and oblivious dentist assistant, who’s constantly being sexually harassed by his Jennifer Aniston-of-a-boss.  He pulls off some of the greatest slapstick humor I’ve ever seen on screen, and although I would never do what his boss does to him, I would take him for some “All you can eat breadsticks at Olive Garden”.  It’s not just the good guys that were awesome; even all the bosses were hilarious.  It tickled my feet to see Jennifer Aniston transform herself from being a good girl into a demon lioness, and seeing Colin Farrell act like a toolish Fraternity boy was a treat; Kevin Spacey is always awesome! 

The Bad:  Call me a sociopath, or just call me a normal 24 year old ginger, but I almost wish it was a little bit more violent than it was.  Other than the odd desire for there to be more violence, the only thing that could have made this movie a better experience for me would be some POPCORN DURING THE SHOWING!!  I seriously felt as naked as a newborn possum without it, then again it was my fault I didn’t buy some… *sigh*

The Ugly:  If you are a brotha or sista who likes laugh out loud comedies, and also has a secret desire to tell your boss to shove it, then this movie is for you.  I for one have had a boss in my history (not my current one) that was just like Colin Farrell’s character, and so this movie was a weird yet joyful trip down memory lane.

Dinner For Schmucks



Overview:  Handsome and devilishly 'good-looking-of-a-man' named Tim (Paul Rudd, and not the pyro goat guy from "Holy Grail") does whatever he can to stay within the confidence of his superiers at work.  When he finds out that they hold a dinner especially made to make fun of lunatics, he has a debate within his mind (don't worry it's not a tumor) whether he should attend or not, that is until he meets the perfect canadit by hitting him with his car.


The Good:  This film was a lot like a Golden Corral.  You walk into the restaurant knowing that you’ll indulge yourself in the utmost gluttony, and will be puking all over the floor when finished, with a little hint of diarrhea.  There are those rare times that a true American can walk out of the restaurant without these consequences, and that’s what this movie is.  C and I were assuming this was going to be a load of crap and we accepted that, but what we ended up finding was a HILARIOUS movie with some of the funniest one-liners we’ve ever heard.  Jemaine Clement from “Flight of the Concords” was hilarious as the self-absorbed artist, Zack Galifanakis (is that how you spell it?) was actually STILL funny, and Steve Carell was so nerdy and so stupid that he made Lloyd from “Dumb and Dumber” look like George Washington.  This movie was an absolute surprise, a surprise that C and I enjoyed to the utmost giddiness.

The Bad:  I love Paul Rudd to death, and think he’s pretty much perfect in everything he’s in, especially “Anchorman”, but in this movie he seems to fall a little short in comparison to the other comedians.  It may not be his fault since he’s supposed to be the anal “you’re ruining my life” character, so there may not have been much he could have done.  Zack Galifanakis is one of the funniest comedians out there, and he was certainly funny in this movie, but lately I’ve feared for his future.  Once “The Hangover” became such a huge hit, Zack has been in almost EVERY comedy movie out there, and it’s not such a bad thing because he’s really funny; what makes it scary is the possibility of him burning out.

The Ugly:  Please go and see this movie, especially if you’re fond of bathroom humor, Steve Carell, or the movie “Dumb and Dumber”.  This movie will make you laugh so much that a lemonade-color-liquid will start running down your pants, but only because of how much of a good time you’re having… right?

#1 Evil Dead II: Dead By Dawn



Overview: In this remake/sequel to the first "Evil Dead", We learn about the character of Ash (not the loser from Poke' mon), and in this ridiculously morbid film he plans a mini-vacation with his hot girlfriend in the woods; which by the way is the stupidest idea ever! has our buddy Ash never watched a Horror film?  When they get to the Cabin  Ash reads a book that looks as if it was the Book of Judas, and then suddenly zombies and phantasms are sprouting up all over the place! Like weeds around a bunch of other weeds!!

The Good:  You may wonder why I picked the second installment over "Evil Dead I" and "Army Of Darkness", and the reason is it combines the best of the two!  The First installment focuses more on the gory side of the franchise, while "Army.." is mostly a comedy, so it's like part II is the transitional movie where there's just the right amount of Comedy, and just the right amount of awesome violence.  First of all Bruce Campbell is off the hook as the funny man, who looks as though he could crack walnuts in the butt of his chin!  There are more quotable one-liners in this movie than almost any other, except maybe "Princess Bride", but words like "Groovy" have never been this much fun to say.  Director Sam Raimi has this weird obsession with having as much blood and gore as possible, and in this movie it is over the top but it's meant to be funny.  There was one such scene where this hickerbilly was being attacked by a zombie, and instead of just a little gore, Raimi had like a 3-minute scene of blood blowing all over the place, almost like the Hoover Damn exploded.  Bruce Campbell really made a name for himself with the "Evil Dead" series, because now he is one of the leading filmmakers in B-Horror movies, and I'm pretty sure that all the nerdy red-heads around the world who can't score a date, have a statue of Bruce in their rooms whom they can relate to while loosing at Dungeons and Dragons.

The Bad:  That there wasn't more blood and gore in the movie.  Not saying there wasn't enough, because watching this movie made me feel like I just walked into a slaughterhouse (holy crap i'm hungry all the sudden).  I was just thinking to myself, "what is the only thing that could make this film any more legendary?.. BLOOD!! Yeah I'm a man, man.  Dudes like blood."

The Ugly:  To me this is the greatest Horror film ever made.  It may not be the scariest one of all, but it does score brownie points for AWESOMENESS!!! This film is so over the top with blood, gore, and comedy that the only thing that could be funner than watching this is taking a hot bath filled with mint hot-chocolate! I have never done that, but a brother could dream, right?

Bad Teacher


Overview:  Cameron Diaz is a bad teacher... Honestly that's basically it.

The Good:  This is for all of you people who think teachers are a pocket full of sunshine, because apparently some of them can be a pocket full of evil.  There is always that fear a person gets that all the funny parts in the movie trailer are the only funny parts in the movie, luckily it wasn't the case with this one; happily enough all the funny moments in the trailer weren't even in the same context we all thought they would be.  Who'da thunk that Cameron Diaz could bring such raunchy smiles to our faces, as it turns out she is hilarious, and I was wrong about thinking she was the worst actress of all time. The rest of the cast was amazing as well, including ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake, who goes from being his normal suave self to being one of the most awkward characters out there!  Can't say anything wrong about Jason Segel, that man IS a pocket full of sunshine.  For those of you who, like C, had to hold your tongues when talking to students or fellow teachers, this movie is a very cathartic experience.

The Bad:  For those people out there who are idealistic about the public education system, you will take strong offense to this film, because Cameron Diaz pretty much smacks you in the face... but like those "sour patch kids" candies, after the sour play she is sweet (ish) and lovely in the end.  This movie is also very abundant in awkward moments, so fairly be thee warned says I.

The Ugly:  Must see this movie... except if you are a child, because not only will you never want to go to school again, but your views of your teacher will also drop to an all time low.  This film is definitely for the teachers out there, who enjoy a good chuckle about their jobs, and who have always wanted to tell off a student or a faculty member.

Megamind



The Good:  Not bad, Not bad.  If we remember correctly, this movie came out at the same time "Despicable Me" and "Toy Story 3" did, and so the two of us didn't really pay enough attention to it because we were so focused on the other two.  Well we're here to tell you that this movie (although it aint no PIXAR film) is still pretty "mega" cool!  First of all Will Ferrell is hilarious in almost everything he's in, and the same goes for Tina Fey as Megamind's mega-hot (for an animation, but nothing compared to Jessica Rabbit) love interest.  The two of us were pleasently surprised that Brad Pitt was in this, because we never really figured him for comedy; we figured he would always stick to Dramas.  Last but not least, there is this 3-year old from church who would always clench his fists together and yell "MEGAMIND!!!!!" at the top of his lungs, and it always made us laugh until we fell into cardiac arrest!  This is a shout out to you little bud.

The Bad:  It's not that this movie was really bad at all, because it was actually really funny.  We feel that the downfall for the movie is it wasn't publicized enough, and that it got lost in the cracks.  It wasn't as interesting as well, especially since there have been so many animated superhero movies coming out lately.

The Ugly: The truth about this movie is not so ugly.  Not only is this movie a hit with the 3-year olds, but grown ups will love it as well.  Sure it may not be an academy award winning PIXAR movie, but then again it's not claiming to be.  This is a movie that is purely meant to be laughed at, and laughed we did... and the nurses were by, just in case we actually did fall into cardiac arrest.

Macgruber


The Good:
 We are the kind of people who hate silence, and so half the time we'll have a movie playing on the TV and we won't even be watching it.  This started out as one of those movies, but quickly grabbed our attention and made us laugh hysterically; It was so funny that A almost had an accident!  coming from an SNL segment that lasts only a couple minutes, the filmmakers did an excellent job in turning it into a movie with a semi-decent plot, and not making it seem like a drag full of empty laughs.  We are used to comedian Kristen Wiig stealing the scene in not only all of her movies, but also in every SNL skit, so something this movie did really good is how ALL the actors were equally hilarious!  Something awesome that we didn't see coming is how hilarious Ryan Phillippe is.  It was a definite surprise to see him acting so funny, especially since we're used to him trying to act like that Van Dam dude... On second thought, if you hate Ryan Phillippe, there is a scene in the movie where where he's used as a human shield (It's not a spoiler if it's in the trailer).

The Bad:  The one downside this movie has is how bizarre it is.  As funny as it was 3/4 of the time, there was some stuff that not only makes it a bad movie to watch with your family, but it makes it borderline disturbing.  So although this movie was hilarious, it probably isn't one you would want to watch with your church group or extremely conservative friends.

The Ugly:  The ugly truth for this movie is it's really funny, but sorta crazy, and we don't mean that in a good way.  It's like when you bite into a yummy/juicy grape, and then it ends up sour and your face ends up like Mickey Rourke's...but the grape was still yummy to the tummy.
