One of the worst films I've ever seen
I'm a big fan of Trey Parker and Matt Stone, from South Park to BasketBall, Orgazmo to Team America they rarely put a foot wrong, but this film really is painful to watch.
It should have been a lot of fun - but it's just so obvious and painful. Lacking in any kind of subtlety whatsoever, all we have here is a collection of predictable jokes and bad musical numbers - which is amazing considering that Parker and Stone are responsible for South Park The Movie, one of the finest musicals ever.
The three or four main actors are fine, but everyone else seems to have been pulled off the street and just given a dodgy beard to wear, the plot goes nowhere for absolutely ages and it just drags and drags, before the ending is seemingly rushed, you won't mind though and will just be glad it's finally over.
If the quality of the jokes were better it wouldn't matter about the dodgy acting and low quality sets, but so many of them are stolen from far superior movies, and the original ones are just plain bad. If you've never seen a comedy before, and you're very very drunk, you might like this, but otherwise you'll find yourself bored throughout and struggling to make it to the end. -

Tired of being sick? Sick of being poor?
This is a Troma film, so it's easy to get put off by the general crapiness of the production. Having said that Trey Parker, Matt Stone and Dian Bachar are in it and that to anyone in the know, is enough. Funny and just plain odd, with some great songs.
