    Funniest Film of its type in years

    This is along the lines of 'Clerks', I guess. The story (if you can call it that) revolves around the staff of a Restaurant called Shenaninganz. The main character is played by likeable actor Ryan Reynolds from Van Wilder, and here he plays a similar role. Ryan has a way of making something funny sound even funnier such is his knack with delivery of one-liners. A new guy starts and its his job to show him the ropes. So we see all the goings on throughout this day, for instance, the "frontal nudity game the men play for kicks!" which is obscene but you imagine actually goes on in places like this! a decent supporting cast also, everyone doing a great job. This should be a cult classic, and is probably the most surprising comedy since Napoleon Dynamite. MUST SEE.

    waiting for it to happen

    Normally like Ryan Reynolds films but this one was very slow & not very funny. Wouldn't really recommend.

    Still Waiting

    I usually like these type of films and Ryan Reynolds is usually a funny guy but this film falls well short of being anywhere near cult status. Previous reviews and even some of the film's extra features suggested it was on the lines of Clerks but take it from me it is not. Most of the gags have been done before and although it is funny in parts there is no real chemistry between the actors. This film could have been very good as most of the cast are funny people but in my view it fails to deliver, having said that there are a lot worse films than this out there

    Hilarious film

    This was a great film, very funny with a bit of crudeness thrown in. If you want a film that has a silly storyline then pick this film, you won't be disappointed. A real laugh a minute film.

    What a pile of s****!

    Well ive seen some awfull movies in my time but oh my god what the f*** is this supposed to be. This is pointless rubish, there is NO story, NO acting skill, NO point at alol. This is probably made by the makers of Gigli (look it up). Please oh please god dont rent this if your iq is higher than you shoe size. It isnt funny, and is 1.5 hours of my life i should bill the makers for. AVOID THIS AT ALLLLLLL COSTS. Lets hope they dont make anything like this ever again this is number 1 on the top 100 worst and pointless movies of all time.

    Atrocious

    One of the worst films I have ever seen. Was hoping for another Van Wilder but this is just awful, no storyline, no plot and it hardly made me laugh at all. DO NOT RENT THIS RUBBISH!

    Passes the time

    I'm a big fan of Ryan Reynolds, i thought he was great in van wilder and in blade II and to be honest he was the only shining light in this film. There are alot of good one liners and 'the game' they all play is worth watching the film for alone. I enjoyed it but i didn't think the film had any storyline and towards the end i found myself looking forward to the film finishing. If there is nothing else you want to see on your list, rent this. You'll laugh at parts and it will pass the time.It beats watching eastenders!!!!!!!

    Sure to be a cult classic

    I wasn't really sure what to expect from this film, but what a fantastic suprise. Brilliant characters, hilarious script.. sure to become a cult classic! Definately recommended.
