The two-doofus comedy probably goes back to ancient times, so why not set it there? The always-funny Michael Cera and the frequently-funny Jack Black join forces like Hope and Crosby in an only intermittently-funny movie that is just a series...

Don'tcha just hate it when writers try too hard, directors have no limits, and actors are given minimal guidance and rely on tried and true schtick?! O those rascally producers - they need someone to help them learn less is more, brevity in wit, and the proper ratio of slapstick to intellectual to emotional humor. O well, I hope the leads get another better vehicle in which to get car sick.
You rated this for "mature high-schooler". Don't you really mean "immature but old enough"? ;-)
I have this same thought about "adult" films. . .
That's a good idea, Pam!
I have absloutely no interest in this film. I do not find anything listed as part of the review that would provide any humor. I continue to be disgusted by what is shown in films and what the MPAA continues to and not to allow under certain ratings. For me it will be a definite "skip it."
Thanks, Tim! I'm glad you feel that the information in my review gave you the information you needed to make a decision that was right for you.
Romans 1 describes many things dealt with in this movie and God calls them "perverse". To laugh at the very things God hates and calls out as perverse is a dangerous place to live. I wouldn't want a penny of my money going to support this movie. Laughing at and finding entertainment in these disgusting things is in a way approving of them. One should ask, "Does watching this blasphemy bring Glory to God?" I can't imagine why anyone would approve of their children viewing this.
Thanks for the comment -- as you can see, I do not recommend the movie for any age group and especially not for children. But I do believe God wants us to laugh that honest laughter is one way of declaring God's glory.
