It's ok, funny at times, decent message. Also kind of weird at times. Not something will want to watch again.

This movie has some funny moments but most of it is just ridiculous non-sense.

Goofy, silly, over the top, absurd. Just what you need to escape and laugh for a moment.

The premise is fundamentally stupid and some of the bits fall flat, but despite some issues, it's surprisingly good natured and fun.

Crass and unfunny. David Spade in lead roles is very hit or miss and this is definitely a miss.
