    Great movie!

    This is hilarious and not nearly as bad as this site makes it sound. One moment of 'sex', but in a funny way. Great movie!

    Hilarious!

    A hilarious, surprisingly original and surreal comedy, it's just a bunch of random jokes strung together but it's very charming and funny. Not nearly as bad as CSM makes it out to be, don't listen to them on this one!

    SNL

    SNL skits become movies a lot now. They are generally funny skits. I thought this was a great movie as is the skit. Man SNL rocks.
