Director David Semel takes Trevor Munson's unique, but inadequate screenplay and turns it into a mediocre film.

Rated: 48/100

Sometime's nonsensical popcorn pleasers like "The Skulls" might be more beneficial to your career. Eh, Josh?

If you have ever wanted to know what it's like to laugh so hard that you actually piss yourself then this comedy masterpiece will make it happen.

I got this movie free when I bought another movie. I can't remember the one I bought, but this is one of my all time favorites. Everything is going wrong and Earl just keeps on keeping on with his best friend Jimbo.

This is one of the funniest movie I have ever seen before or since. Several of us accidentally discovered this one snowy night and we couldn't travel. So well performed by the entire cast. Mellencamp was a pleasant surprise. I can't believe this movie isn't bigger than what it is.

Plotline is something vaguely like 'guy who is going to marry his sister promises her he will look after her cousin who is a dumb criminal'. Of COURSE it is set in the South. Duh. Hijinks ensue. Bring out the cast of colorful dumb characters. The movie is predictable and dumb, but there are a few laughs in it.
