Okay, I must admit that this movie was incredibly stupid, offensive and
awful...but somehow I still laughed and enjoyed myself. Maybe it was
because the film had no pretenses--it never even tried to be deep or
intelligent--just appeal to our baser instincts.

The reason I watched this film is because I loved TALLADEGA NIGHTS so
much. Another Will Farrell/John C. Reilly film sure sounded great--even
if it didn't match the quality or laughs of this earlier film.

The film is about two total losers who still live at home with their
parent, even though they are 39 and 40 years old. On top of this, they
both have the common sense and maturity of 7 year-olds---very, very
slow 7 year-olds! And in both roles, Ferrell and Reilly both sounded
like little boys in adult bodies--and this provided a lot of laughs.
When both their parents met and married, however, both Ferrell and
Reilly handed it like most immature children--they sulked and threw
tantrums. Then, in a strange twist, the two losers realized how much
they had in common and became fast friends. The problem, however, is
that as friends they both had a lot of crazy and destructive
energy--and perhaps it was better when they were fighting and arguing
all the time! The film manages to entertain because it is well-written,
plus the actors seemed to have a lot of fun acting like total idiots.
This fun translated to fun for the audience as well. However, I should
warn you that the movie is very, very crude--with lots of colorful
language, a pair of fake testicles and lots of sexual references. While
kids love Will Ferrell movies, I don't recommend this except for older
and more mature audiences (that's ironic, isn't it?).

Overall, lots of primitive and crude humor that manages to make you
laugh throughout. It ain't pretty, but it is fun and worth seeing.
