    I rate this title iffy for age 11 and give it 5.0

    Real Hilarious

    I saw the 2nd movie first and tought it was super funny and i wanted to see the 1st one.I found the first movie at a market place for a really cheap price and bought it.It is a little wrong because the make it real obvious.One man says to Garth and another guy "I love you man." and they think he's joking but he was serious but that's sopossed to be more of funny and crude than to sound inappropriate.the only part i didn't like was the part where Cassandra was on the phone and Wayne was in his underwear(pretty disgusting)though what he did to distract her fromher phone call was pretty funny(imatated Marylyn Monroe)lol.Then they had that little "sex" scene which more looking like a mixture of wrestling and makingout.It might be just a little bit too much for little children.

    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.
