User Reviews

Top Five.... Worst

This movie left me speechless, literally. It was that bad. I'd like to think of myself as a moderately unbiased movie watcher, as I try to go into every movie with an open mind. I didn't look at any reviews or ratings before going to see this movie. Afterwards it felt like I had just watched a complete mess. The movie is full of completely random, pointless scenes, scenes that drag on for too long, and jokes that just aren't funny. It tried to be one of those off-the-wall crazy comedies like Hangover or Superbad, but isn't even half as funny as either of those movies. I was absolutely baffled to see that critics were giving this movie 8+ out of 10. I can't see how any right-minded person could rate this movie that high I unless they got paid to. This is one of the top five worst movies I've ever seen!
