Trivia:
During the scene where Matthew Lillard's character thinks that Darryl has suffered an over dose, his friends that follow him in the room suggest that he needs a shot of adrenaline to the heart. This is a reference to _Pulp Fiction (1993)_ where Mia Wallace (Uma Thurman) suffers an actual overdose and is given a shot of adrenaline to restart her heart. (Side note: this method would not actually work if someone suffered an actual overdose) more

Just like any one of a hundred fart-joke inspired comedies trundled out every year this movie has it's moments and is at times very funny. Wayans is pretty good mainly because he can be ridiculous without over-acting and therefore becoming annoying. However, there is nothing here that you haven't seen before and to know exactly what's going to happen before it happens becomes tiresome. If you want low-budget comedy you'd be better off watching the inspired Ski School 2 or Happy Gilmore and give this one a miss.
