I know there are quite a few Ben Stiller "anti-fans" here at the Safehouse, and I definitely aggree that he can be unentertaining at times, but who has seen the movie and what are your opinions on it? I thought it was a quite good simple comedy of people getting she **** smacked out of them by various objects. Vince Vaughn also did a pretty damn good job if you ask me. But I was wondering if the highly advanced sense of humors weilded by many of you Safehouse regulars were able to enjoy a comedy based primarily on physical pain and an insane amount of "nutt-shots."

Oddly enough, I've heard nothing but praise about this movie.

Everyone needs a litlle slapstick every once in awhile.

thought it was a quality flick...i was sort of dissapointed after starsky and hutch, but this was back up at zoolander level. There were so many good quotes that i'm gonna need to see it a few more times before i memorize any of them. Gonna be in the dvd collection for sure.

I was in the floor laughing at this movie. I'm not a fan of the classic Stiller face-off's (ex. "Yeah, you WILL take your chances in the tournament.") That stuff just isn't funny to me, but some of the signs on the wall, the name of the restaraunt where they go to celebrate, and celebrity cameo's had me rolling.

Great flick, MUCH better than I thought it was gonna be! Definitely tons of little one liners and sneak-in jokes.

[spoiler:6717c17530]The German team captain was frickin hilarious, as well as the name of the bars. Not to mention the huge bodyguard named "Meeshelle"[/spoiler:6717c17530]

Man I took my dad to go see this and we laughed our asses off. It was way better then I expected. Had that same type of humor of Old School. Even though Ben Stiller is a dink he was funny in this movie.

I thought it was absolutely hilarious. I went with a friend and there probably wasn't a total of five minutes thoughout the film that we weren't laughing. I think the younger you are though, the funnier it is :p

The team name "She-Mullets" made the entire movie worth it to me. I just wish they had actually shown the team. The movies not the most clever thing in the world. But youll probably slap a knee once or twice. There are a few well hidden jokes that youll most likely need to rewatch the movie at least once in order to catch them.

Only problem with the movie was the pizza thing... Ill enver look at pizza the same way

Was hilarous, stupid beyond belief, but if you dont go into that movie expecting that kind of humor... well, the same could probably be said about you.

Great movie, A+

(my rating is probably a bit off but who gives =/)

One question, does the movie begin right in the gym commercial?

If memory serves me right, yes.
