A lot of third-tier Farrelly-brothers-influenced gross-out humor.

You won't hate the experience of watching it, but you'll forget you saw it before it's even over.

I suffered through this movie so you don't have to - unless you really, truly feel like wasting ninety minutes of your life.

Rated: 1.5/5

Graceless and woefully inspired, adding another bomb to Spade's cratered filmography, also triggering a distinct desire to never see another Tyler Spindel picture.

Raunchy, lowbrow disaster with cursing, slapstick action.

Wow.. actually terrible. I didn't laugh once, not even a chuckle. The "plot" makes absolutely no sense and the characters are extremely unlikable. The "humor" is just a bunch of recycled, boring jokes that try to be as vulgar as possible and sound like they were written by 6th graders. Don't waste your time with this one.

Shame that this was a failed Happy Madison production. Terrible comedy and plot.

Reminds me of a sequel, or prequel, to That’s My Boy though not on the same level as the aforementioned. It does seem to drift from the plot the title suggests and fails to really deliver on the only point that was giving it direction.
