Stupidly funny...

This movie was really hilarious. The movie shows off so many out of place characters and events that it's stupid not to laugh. The performance of all of the characters was OK though Chris Rock was not that funny. The movie could have been a bit better if it was longer and the laughs were to be distributed through the whole movie. Anyway if want to laugh your ass of for about an hour go see Pootie Tang.
