Lon:
Wow, that's gotta hurt. I mean, he's always doin' that to you. Stealing your thunder. You remember the red head? In gardening? Boinked her behind the monkey grass. And the asian in automotive? Did her on a pile of carburetors. Oh, and the blonde in frozen foods, with the… Doink! Doink! Turkeys done! Remember her?

User Review

I wasn't expecting much…

Rating: 8/10


I wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. I laughed at
several witty lines, especially one where Zach corrected Vince's
grammar, but Vince didn't get it. Even Jessica Simpson didn't bother me
because they didn't try to inflate her intelligence; they just made her
a rather bland character.

The plot isn't original, but watching Vince pretend he was Tom Cruise
from Cocktail made me laugh. When I watch this sort of movie I want to
laugh and I did just that. Dane Cook was a pleasant surprise too. I had
never seen anything with him. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie even
though I didn't think that I would.
