User Reviews

Simply Hilarious!

Absolutely fantastic, one of the best comedy movies ever! Yes it was vulgar, very dirty humor and features drug use but what do you expect, you should expect this if you've ever seen Family Guy. Obviously this isn't for the Tea Party crowd!

This movie was so funny I nearly cried from laughing so hard. If you go to see this movie, take your sense of humor and prepare yourself for politically incorrect jokes. There are some pretty funny cameo appearances as well. I saw this movie overseas and it's funny to see people from another language and culture laugh so hard at American humor.
