I only saw two gross out gags in this one but they both seemed really out of place, still admit I laughed
altogether I can say it was better than Shallow Hal (which was god awful), mostly entertaining but only a few legit laughs in the whole thing; the whole side plot with Christina Applegate and the baseball player seemed unnecessarily cruel and a bit too serious for a movie like this. also it has the Apatow staple plot where an awkward, loserish guy somehow manages to charm a girl way out of his league by being weird and stammering a lot around her

The Applegate strand was the most appealing one for me! Needed some 'serious'!
Also, ballplayer had an awesome torso.

except this woman is pretty much just a pair of tits
i mean really, there is nothing at all there other than that
apatow broads usually have something beyond that
loved the hipsters-who-like-snow-patrol bit, zeitgeisty

for all that, this was better than most third-rate bro comedies

wait, I guess there were two women who wanted him, I would only say one of them was just a pair of whoppers
the hipster thing was kinda funny at first but it just veers off into really weird territory at the end, like "we need an exciting climax with action and some danger" so they just have someone go completely off the deep end for no real reason
that said the hard cut to credits in the end really was hilarious

I didn't realize they still wound up doing The Three Stooges movie, w/ out Mel Gobson or Sean Penn.
Sean Hayes wound up playing Larry.

oh wow, i didn't think this movie could get any worse but then i noticed that the entire cast of Jersey Shore portrays themselves in this.

Dargis and Gleiberman are fans of T3S. I dodged this bullet through lack of advance screenings.

I can see it not being terrible, tho. Just gratuitous.

Kingpin is not *that* funny, that's all. (I was even tired of Murray by the last 20 minutes.) Their plots always turn to mush, but not always as dully as this one.
There's really nothing more '90s than cameos by Urge Overkill AND Roger Clemens.

probably unpopular hereabouts but dumb & dumber is the one these fucks landed imo, just a happy open-throated belch of a film, so funny all the time. Amazing one-off double act chemistry too

Peter Farrelly has in fact made a far richer, more rewarding film than Green Book addressing the subject race in America. It is called My, Myself and Irene (2000), and involves Jim Carrey being cucked by Tony Cox over a period of decades.— 𝕿𝖗𝖔𝖚𝖇𝖑𝖊 𝕰𝖛𝖊𝖗𝖞 𝕯𝖆𝖞 (@NickPinkerton) January 10, 2019
