    • Quotes

      Dean Solomon: So... you're a janitor?

      James: That's right. I'm a black man so I must be a janitor. Motherfucking racist-ass stereotyper.

      Dean Solomon: It's just, you're... wearing a janitor's outfit.

      James: Oh. So a black man can't just go in a thrift shop and buy a janitor's outfit 'cause he find it comfortable on his nuts.

      Dean Solomon: No, he can. Especially a black man.

      John Solomon: What do you do?

      James: I'm a janitor.

    There's a test to see how much you enjoy this film...
    If you find the opening credits funny, then you will love this wonderfully absurd film. Of course, if you're not in touch with your inner idiot, you will be bewildered and ask "Why is this funny?"

    Like Charlie says in Charlie And The Chocolate Factory "candy doesn't have to have a point." This is a film that revels in its oddball stupidity.

    Will Arnett is funny for me simply by his facial expressions and tone of voice (I often quote "Michael. Selfish, selfish Michael" in my head.) Will Forte (who also wrote) is adept at twisting audience's expectations, the two Solomon brothers completely unaware of their actions. Kirsten Wiig, a superb comedy actress, is in a relatively straighter role here, but still pulls it off well.

    In short, if you want wit and sophistication, watch Robert Altman's The Player. If you want depth and moral ambiguity, watch Fight Club or A Clockwork Orange.

    If you just want to amuse yourself laughing at idiots, this film will please no end.
