Summary by www.netflix.com

I'm a little torn on this movie. Parts of it were very funny, but many parts were unnecessarily vulgar. Don't get me wrong, I like vulgar. Vulgar can be funny, but I've never found old people spewing profanity funny. That's just sad to me, and the language for the crew in general could have been cleaned up. I haven't heard that many f-words since Scarface, and it gets tiresome after a while. At least they had the balls to go for an R rating, though. I have to say I enjoyed it, but I'm guessing it's one of those movies that would grow on me more when I catch it on cable a few times. --Bill Alward, March 28, 2006
