This film screened in Minneapolis last night (at which they also
distributed free T-shirts, pins and fake mustaches) and I have not
laughed this hard in a very long time. I laughed so hard it made my
stomach hurt, and that hasn't happened to me in a movie in years.
It reminded me very much of Will Ferrell's "Anchorman" and "Talladega
Nights," but even moreso it seems like a throwback to the kind of
movies Adam Sandler used to make. There's a lot of "Billy
Madison"-inspired randomness and absurdity that just cracked me up, and
the stunts look truly dangerous.
I will not say anymore about this film except I can't wait to see it
again when it opens August 3rd and I think Andy Samberg could explode
after this film. Not literally, let's hope.
