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.

Okay starring vehicle for Norm MacDonald, but you'd think he could do better.

: "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.
