Review:
I'll get the obvious stuff out of the way -- the premise is stupid and the movie knows that it's stupid. You wonder if it'll be anything more than a one-joke movie. Well, sort of. I thought parts of it were really funny - I love Craig Robinson in pretty much anything, Rob Corddry is insane, Crispin Glover's every moment on screen cracked me up. Then there are moments where the jokes and situations are predictable and there's a weird flat energy. But even when some of it doesn't work, it redeems itself over and over with memorable lines.
