Funny movie!

This movie was better than I expected! These two are such dorks, but that is what's funny! The outfits, the attitude, the car are all part of the comedy too. Best part: "Is that a mirror in your pocket, because I can see myself in your pants." Also the spoof of Jerry Maguire is great too. Watch if you are in the mood for a good comedy with funny humor.
