Occasionally funny, but all too often driven by the juvenile conviction that anything even remotely connected with homosexuality is riotously funny...

The outrageousness isn't consistently sustained, and the pic tends to peter out somewhere around the two thirds mark.

: "Saturday Night Live" alum Norm Macdonald's feature debut ain't great, but he is.

Why does Hollywood think that everyone who ever appeared on "Saturday Night Live" deserves a film career as a reward? What's the excuse for showcasing Norm Macdonald, a third-rate Dennis Miller knockoff whose delivery is slower than Priority Mail?

...proves that a comedy doesn't need an R rating to be crude, rude, or stupid. Even an innocent PG-13 can do the trick.

A tone-deaf, scattershot and dispiritingly cheesy affair with more groans than laughs.

The jokes just aren't funny, and Macdonald's sardonic, 'non-acting' style of acting quickly becomes tiresome.

Worthless but awfully earnest slapstick from Macdonald, who ain't finding the Big Screen quite so simple.

Attempts to carry on the comedic-vengeance tradition, with arguably mixed results.

Didn't provide enough good jokes to sustain anything more than a half hour TV program.
