  ok to rent
  
  I thought it would be better. I did laugh and am glad I watched it but would not want to watch it again or spend the money to buy the movie.

  Dont Bother
  
  Save 78 minutes of your life and just watch the trailer. The funny bits are in there, if you can call them that.

  Quite funny
  
  Not side splitting, but quite a novel idea and got a few laughs from it.

  Disappointing throughout
  
  Not as funny as perceived. Was ok in bits but overall didn't rate it as funny. Wouldn't watch again. Overall it was disappointing.

  Now where near as funny as anticipated!
  
  If you have seen the adverts, then dont bother watching the film, all the best parts on the adverts, otherwise boring and dull

  Irritating Comedy!
  
  I would give this movie a miss. I found the main actors really irritating to watch and the storyline infantile. Not for me, thanks!

  If you've seen the trailer - you've seen the film.

  PE experiences re-lived
  
  If you ever had a PE teacher who hated kids you'll identify with this film,it's not a laugh a minute but there are some very funny pieces.
