I saw this film at different venue. I was totally horrified at the language that was used throughout the total movie. Makes me not want to go see any more of his movies that he puts out. With not knowing what kind of words are going to be used.
I saw people leaving the theater and they weren't just going out to get more popcorn.

I laughed pretty hard, and pretty frequently, but this isn't anything that requires being seen in the theater at all. On every front it falls short, it's not a date movie because it doesn't leave you with warm fuzzies, it's not really worth seeing in the theater because the big screen doesn't add anything, it could be worth renting if you had a case or two of beer and some friends, but it'd fall short if you were alone, hell it'd be more depressing than amusing.
The movie itself was kind of inconsistent. The characters bounced around emotionally too much... Swinging too far in any extreme to be even remotely believable. Most of the supporting cast was the same, it's liek the writers wrote 3 characters and 5 others that were "that guy".. It felt flat. Any attempt at giving any of the characters any depth was shallow and dry. For instance we as the audience are supposed to be 'feeling sorry' for the uber rich guy that beat cancer; and wish him a love life with the girlfriend he cheated on years in the past. Their relation ship was years ago and it was his fault, and she's married... It just struck home a little close, I am constantly irritated by people around me that are like that; they fuck over the people they 'care about' and think a simple "I'm sorry" puts em in the clear. No, you sell out, turn your back on your friends/lovers after cheating on them and basically disavow their existence for 10 years or so, they're not going to be in any hurry to go get a drink and 'catch up' let alone lust after you.

This movie was a flop. I cannot believe this didn't go straight to cable and even pass DVD. The humor was crude and not appropriate even for a teenager to view. There was no real plot just a bunch of cursing and sexual references. Take my cue and keep your money in your pocket.
