I'm sry to bump this up but I just gotta say that this movie is sooo good. I thought Let's Go to Prison was a piece of crap, but Odenkirk really got it right with this one. It takes these naive characters and totally plays along with their stupidity, and never once goes where you would expect it to for this type of movie. Maybe I'm just a little movie happy because I haven't watched anything for a couple days and I'm pretty hungover but I find it hilarious and highly recommend it.

[Robyn]

Aaw, just look at these faces. I just want to punch them.

It's one of the worst movies i've ever seen.

[Reel]

You've gotta be kidding me dude! I loved every minute of it.

[Robyn]

The only thing I remember about this is how bad it was.

[bluejaytwist]

"enjoy your dinner"
"ALREADY AM"

it definitely has it's moments.

[Pubrick]

Even from that quote I can tell there's a lot of yelling in this movie.

That's never a good thing.

[bluejaytwist]

its actually not yelling in that bit! haha.
but the movie is mostly obnoxious - not a big BO fan..

[Reel]

He's the producer of Tim and Eric Awesome show! The best thing on tv..

[bluejaytwist]

right, but dont you find anything he directs to be really unfunny and flat and like the majority of the actors have been given line readings right before the take? he just kinda bugs me. i heart mr show, but david cross helped alot. i dunno. irrational perhaps...

[Reel]

right, but dont you find anything he directs to be really unfunny and flat and like the majority of the actors have been given line readings right before the take?

Yeah dude, I don't find him very funny as a person either. Everything that worked against him in Let's Go to Prison came off as pretty entertaining to me in this one.

[bluejaytwist]

i watched lets go to prison because i was hoping to be masochistically entertained in the same way as this but there wasn't a single even vaguely amusing moment. and i gave my brain all the right elements to give it the benefit of the doubt. it was uncomfortably awful but it taught me that if you're a friend of will arnett, he'll do any project to try to save it for you long after you've grown stale. 

[Reel]

You're right! you're absolutely right.

Reelist, don't take no shit.  This movie was funny.
It's stupid as crap and not the best thing ever, but it definitely has its moments.

Also, say what you will about his movies (even HE hates Let's Go to Prison), Bob Odenkirk is one of the funniest men on the planet.  He is responsible for most things most people who are smart find funny. 

Everyone who thinks Cross made Mr. Show is wrong.  Odenkirk is the genius... and he's a better comedic actor.
