wayne brady as a villain!!!

i've never heard of this movie untiln today...and i don't want to ever hear of it again

I know I thought it was funny when I saw the trailer and Wayne Brady was in the movie. Liked him as a talk show host but I'm not sure if he can act.

The movie doesn't look awful but it doesn't look good either. I'm going to see it mostly because I try and watch everything, but this looks like a rental at best.

[biglaughs]

This should be interesting - i adore Wayne Brady so...I'll watch it when it comes to DVD. =)

I actually have free passes to see this tomorrow night, so I'll probably end up going. I think the movie seems awful, though.

I hate wayne brady, but watching that chappell skit he did, he was a beleivable badass, at least it worked for making me laugh.

I've decided I'm going to skip the free showing, I have better things to do.

Very well said.

It's not that bad actually. The first twenty or so minutes are boring and Wayne Brady gives a rather forgettable performance. But fortunately, his screen time is very limited and once the movie really focuses on the two guys and when they hook up with the girls and they go to California, this movie was actually pretty engaging and involving and entertaining. Some annoying directing/editing stylistic choices too, but they don't go too overboard with them, fortunately. Atleast, they usually don't. They do a little in some scenes but thankfully, those scenes are pretty far and few between.
