    This was weird... I loved it.
    If you don't like a dark comedy, don't even watch this movie!

    Lots of people are bashing this movie just because it's takes a certain personality to understand and appreciate this type of humor.

    Everything in the movie is slightly exaggerated enough to be funny. It was refreshing not to have to swim through dozens of fart jokes or gay jokes.

    Jack Black was so over-dramatic (I think that's just the way he is- Lord bless 'im). Ben Stiller plays the bumbling pent-up family man. Both very good actors. And, I must say, Christopher Walken is so wonderfully weird, it was only natural for him to be in this movie. I would make this a purchase- I think it will be like Zoolander- a cult classic in certain circles.
