I thought thsi produced enough laughs for it to become watchable, sure Jon Heder wasnt really far removed form his Napoleon Dynamite character, but hes still got alot to do as an actor, and maturing out of this phase may be a long process, its the reason for his success and so why not push it as far as it can go. I liked Davis Spade in it i thought it was in particular quite funny , and so what if there wasnt exact chemistry between the three, this was neevr going to be in the same league as Happy Gilmore NApoleon Dynamite or really Duece Bigalow but its a good one for kids.

Saw this film while in the USA and it was pretty funny, well worth a watch if you like napoleon, deuce and joe dirt! The review is extremely harsh, if anything it made you want to play baseball and laugh at david spades characters agrophobic housemate who was brilliant! Good, fun, summer film!

ignore these other people, trust me this film is a winner!! it will go down along with anchorman, napoleon and many more. it is funny in fact hilarious! it will become another cult classic. The best line "That nerd makes me look like rambo", "no he doesn't" two grown up nerds talk about a 10 year old nerd...just class!

I will admit that this film is not brilliant or even that funny, but it definitely did not deserve its killer 1 star review. Not only was it very funny in quite a few places, it had Jon Lovitz in a batmobile and David Spade's funniest wig. Its plot was also quite easy to follow and i think it was only me that, despite it being a plain and simple comedy, though it was slightly moving and dramatical in a couple of scenes, namely the dwarve in the basement. Okay, just the dwarve in the basement but hey, its still quite good.

1 star was too harsh for this movie, i mean it is stupid that its 3 men vs a whole bunch of kids but this movie was very funny.

Like comleyblockbuster said IGNORE THESE OTHER PEOPLE!!!! Because this film is great and is a must see!!! It got bad reviews from america to and my mind wonders why or why! I may not be the best person to judge this really as I am a little bias; due to the fact that I think both John Header and David Spade are comedy genious (and a bit hot!) but also that I have been following Rob's (I'm not even gonna try and spell his surname!) films for absolutly ages so to see them three teamed up is great for me! Have to say though that I was a bit gutted that Adam Sandler didn't have some sort of cameo, but it's all good I mean they got Reggie Jackson, John Lovitz and the Howie! Laughs from beginning to end, trust me... WATCH IT!!!!

I really didnt want to watch this movie at first but, I heard about David Spade was going to be in it, and I am a big fan of his work in 8 simple rules, so I knew this was a movie I needed to see. His character had a hilarious witty humour.
This movie was actually how I discovered Jon Heder, His character Clark was so loveable. and I thought he was the funniest out of the 3.

This was a feel-good comedy, it had me laughing the whole time. The characters were very easy to relate to, Very Underated.
I have watched this movie more times than any movie I own on dvd. It still has me smiling .

5/5
