    • Quotes

      Jimmy: So, Coach, I was thinking about the music for our routine.

      Coach: Oh, really?

      Chazz: We're gonna dance to one song, and one song only: "Lady Humps" by the Blackeyed Peas. "What you gonna do with all that junk, all that junk inside your trunk? I'm a get you, get you drunk, get you drunk off my lady humps, my humps, my humps, my lovely lady humps."

      Jimmy: [disgusted] I'm not skating to anything with references to lady humps. I don't even know what that means.

      Chazz: No one knows what it means, but it's provocative...

      Jimmy: No, it's not, it's gross...

      Chazz: ...It gets the people going!

    8/10
    Pleasantly surprise, solid comedy throughout the whole movie!
    I saw the preview several days ago and figured it was just another case of, "put the funniest parts of the movie in the trailer to hook the public and then be disappointed later", but I was surprised and the comedic cohesion between John H. and Will F.. The dialouge was some of the funniest I've heard in awhile and the physical comedy was timed perfectly. This is not just another mediocre performance from Heder and Will that we have grown accustomed to. This movie really delivers and there were plenty of great cameos. Including Jenna Fisher from the office and even Nancy Carrigan. If you truly have an eye for good comedy, they you'll love this movie. I think it was the best comedy I have seen in awhile.
