User Reviews

One of the best films I have seen

This film is a breath of fresh air. If you are tired of the same recipe movies, that we see all year around, this is something else.

Yes it's vulgar, but not much, yes it's funny but not that much. The humor is best served at home and not in the theater, as there are a lot of jokes which you will get with some delay and laugh out loud.

It you make a comedy, you should make it so people laugh and not to educate them. That's my feeling.

But good movie, you should see it, it's something different and we really need something different in this industry. Still, this is a movie worth your time.
