John McEnroe: Nobody wants to end up in prison. But if you do end up in prison, Swedish prison's the way to go. It's a lot like living in a very modern home with mid-century finishes.

Super Funny AND Super Dumb

As long as you understand that it is intentionally dumb, then you will laugh through the whole thing. It's not trying to be like Blades of Glory or any other sports parody like that, it's just a dumb comedy that really is hilarious.

There are some scenes that go on too long, and moments of sex and general nudity that probably didn't need to be there. In other words, it's fitting for the HBO crowd but not for a whole family to sit down and watch.

Kit Harrington definitely stole the show, every second he was on screen was completely hilarious. I might just be too big of a Jon Snow fan, but I thought his character and his performance alone makes this worth watching.
