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

: "Saturday Night Live" alum Norm Macdonald's feature debut ain't great, but he is.
11/07/02
A ribald flood of comic bliss.

Tasteless? Oh, yeah.
04/12/02
A stupid lowdown vulgar comedy.

Top CriticThe jokes just aren't funny, and Macdonald's sardonic, 'non-acting' style of acting quickly becomes tiresome.
01/01/00
Worthless but awfully earnest slapstick from Macdonald, who ain't finding the Big Screen quite so simple.
01/01/00
A tone-deaf, scattershot and dispiritingly cheesy affair with more groans than laughs.

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?

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

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

Top Critic...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.

Don't bother to hang around for the outtakes. They're not funny either.

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