As sick-making sketch comedies go, this stupefyingly bad one—somehow rife with A-list talent—must rank near the very bottom. Yet if black is white and up is down, that could read like highest praise to you. Trust us, it’s not: Hugh Jackman shows up as a charming date with a pair of testicles dangling from his neck, while Kate Winslet gags as pubes fall into their dinner. That’s an example of the infantile, off-the-wall concepts here, devised by close to two dozen writers and directors who firmly believe in puerilism for kicks. You won’t believe how tiresome bad taste has become.

  • To be honest, older viewers should take into consideration that this is a film for teenagers and therefore it should not be reviewed by the people who obviously would not get the same humour as someone who is still the slightest bit immature. Personally, I loved it. Yes there was the occasional sketch that wasn't funny but the majority of it made me laugh as it shows originality and its use of great cast made me love it even more. If you want a really great laugh with your mates, go and see this movie!!
