I really wanted to like this film, and caught hell on Facebook for disliking it. Living in the thick of Mormon country as I do, I wanted to appreciate a spoof on the religion's squeaky-clean adherents; as a former resident of Los Angeles I was also willing to see the cultural cesspool beneathe the surface of L.A. parodied equally.
Instead I was treated to a film so sophomoric and poorly shot that at times I was convinced that the directors had used a single camera. No other excuse could explain some of the film's shots. There were a few mildly funny running gags (such as the "I'm not gay, but..." spiel) but overall the production seemed haphazard and overlong. Folks, a 95-minute movie has no business feeling overlong.
Even the execrable "Idiocracy", which runs in a similar vein of humor, had more genuinely funny moments than this. I failed to laugh aloud even once. Skip this and rent "Borat" or "The Hangover" for scatological, risque humor that still...well, works.
