Future comedy classic

Jody Hill has shown himself to be a master of letting his actors play and simply be. He sells a simple sports story in a totally unique, wonderful and hilarious way... The humor completely taps into the modern comedy style of allowing large characters to be portrayed subtly and with multiple dimensions. This new brand of comedy is rare in American cinema, although the Europeans (like Ricky Gervais) have been perfecting it for years... Danny Mc. Bride, in a role destined for cult legend status, will soon be a comedy star with his unassuming way of selling the laughs naturally without cramming it down the audience's throat. Can't wait to see what this crew pulls together next, they are truly the type of guys who will be looked at and exalted in the years to come.
