Here's a movie that got the shit panned out of it. But in spite of all the negative press, it remained one I definitely wanted to see. Ten bucks might have been a bit much to pay for it earlier tonight at Target, but sometimes you've got to live a little. Let's get down to brass tacks; this movie deserves the massive criticism it got. The direction was pretty terrible. Scenes just kind of happened, rather than flowing into one another with any sort of cohesion. It was everything, in short, that screamed "B-rate comedy." But I don't regret buying or watching it. In fact, I even - lightly - recommend it. It's funny. Not all the time, of course, but there are some really funny jokes and moments amid the chaotic disarray. Plenty are crass and lowbrow, but there's nothing wrong with dick and shit jokes. The movie's also got a pretty stellar cast. Black and Cera aside, you've got David Cross and Paul Rudd as Cain and Abel, Hank Azaria and McLovin from Superbad as Abraham and Isaac, and Olivia Wilde as a smokin' hot princess of some sort. Oh, and one more thing I think I need to point out - the alternate ending was far superior to the theatrical one, in my opinion. It seemed more fitting and less typical and cheesy. The bottom line is that this flick will definitely provide you with both crude belly laughs and plot-related groans. You could do a lot worse with ten bucks at Target.
