Wow, I can see why this movie lasted one week in our town. This was an SNL skit for the big screen (that is meant to imply terrible). I love Jerry Stillar, always have. I like Garafalo. I liked several of the support actors. However, I do not love any of them in this movie. The story is just too simplistic and uneventful. I just kept waiting for a movie to develop and it never did. I was bored, I saw script developments five minutes before they happened. What I kept waiting for was Ben Stillar's cameo, which I was sure would be crazy and great. I was wrong! Ben Stillar has one of the least amusing skits ever, in movie history. There are several Mr. Show regulars in the movie, but they are wasted as well. Don't get suckered into seeing this because you think it is going to be Stillar's lunacy from Seinfeld, you will be let down in a major way. As Jerry's boy said in "Meet the Parents", this movie is a "Bomb-b-Bomb-b-Bomb-b-b-Bomb!"
