Okay, the summary line is a bit much. But this movie combines so many strange odd elements it's hard to generalize in a summary.
Probably everyone knows the plot: Three guys who are on the lower end of the food chain spend their time being sloths and playing in a Neil Diamond cover band. In and of itself, that's hilarious.
Being a Neil Diamond fan, I appreciate the assertion, seemingly incontestable, that Neil Diamond is one of America's greatest song writers.
The basic plot: one of the losers in the band falls in love with a gorgeous woman (nastily, and well, played by Amanda Peet) who promptly puts him under his thumb.
And our other losers are aghast, and take action to respond to the situation, in a remarkably stupid fashion. But what do we expect? There are some gross out scenes, a lot of them actually. But if you can forgive those, there are some really funny, weird scenes. Adding in a cameo (ultra spoiler here) by Neil himself at the end, wonderful. Also and appearance by Varney, a Vietnam era drill instructor in such movies as Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket, as a very strange football coach, there are some plot diversions that one can at least go "huh" at.
It's still juvenile, and very stupid usually, but there's enough fun, amidst the gross out, that at the right moment, it might be worth it.
