“I have seen some awful movies. Movies that just arenu0026#39;t that great, arenu0026#39;t interesting, lack that certain spark that a Great Movie always has. I knew, walking in to screen this movie this morning, that this would lack that certain spark. I knew this would not be a Great Movie, but I expected it to be at least somewhat funny — it is, after all, a comedy. And as for expecting the rest of it to be stupid, well, it went above and beyond: it was absolutely ridiculous.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eGenerally, Iu0026#39;m indifferent to Mike Myersu0026#39; stupid (for lack of a better word) humor. There have been some genuinely funny moments in past movies, but you wonu0026#39;t find more than two or maybe even three in this one. The entire movie was basically sexual innuendo after innuendo after innuendo after humping elephants.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAt one point, I wanted to bash my head against a wall. This supposed u0026quot;comedyu0026quot; was absolute torture to sit through.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut Stephen Colbert is interesting — has a few funny lines — and Jessica Alba was very pretty. Also, Verne Troyer has quite the clever line — in the credits, that is.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI suppose one thing to say about this movie is, while not exactly in a positive light, it will likely always be in your memory, never forgotten. Although, keep in mind: seeing a movie should never hurt this much.”
