Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

The recipe of sexual humiliation, scatology and moments of incongruous sentimentality remains unchanged, even though the boys from East Great Falls have graduated from college and begun to settle down. For Jim (Biggs) this entails proposing to Michelle (Hannigan), which she misconstrues as a request for a blowjob under the table of an upscale restaurant. Once that misunderstanding is ironed out, she accepts, opening the door to all manner of episodic hilarity. Loud, loutish and littered with unspeakably vile moments. A great success then, on its own terms.
