6/10
Not as bad as some say
1 December 2011
I'll admit, i haven't read the book. I'm not a fan of autobiographies, but I do enjoy a good biopic (if it's less than 3 hours and not about a musician) Looking at the Wikipedia page and this page, it would seem that this movie was going to be horrible. For me, it wasn't. The dialogue with the constant insults, over-enunciated big words, and imaginative physical punishments was pretty fun(ny). I found myself laughing more from a "what did he just say to her?" HAHAHAHA As I've suggested it to some friends, my encouragement has been "man, the stuff they say to each other and other people is the funniest part." Okay, Jesse Bradford's Drew as the stereotypical college geek with an extensive vocabulary who feels compelled to say words greater than 3 syllables with Malkovich-ian enunciation did get on my nerves. Tucker Max's fetishes and excesses are played to humorous effect, but the plot is still predictable. It's not about the destination, it's the ride

It's not Wedding Crashers. Wedding Crashers had endearing characters and Christopher Walken.
