Aieeeee! How does one comment on a movie like this? The only way for this film to end on any kind of realistic note is to have Robin Williams revealed as a psychotic posing as a pastor and carted away to the can. You can't believe word one of this movie. A minister acting like this - bugging people's bedrooms, throwing baseballs at guy's faces, employing a ten year-old to stalk a couple night and day - would certainly get thrown out of the church. And no rational couple would stand for being treated like this. Mandy Moore and the guy from "The Office" (I won't attempt to spell his last name - but I like him!) are fine, but the writing, direction and, unfortunately, Robin Williams are so cheesy that it all turns out to be a monument of incredibly horrible cinema that I, for one, actually had to keep watching - just to see how much more awful it would get. I can't believe someone who directed episodes of "The Larry Sanders Show" actually directed this steaming pile.

Hilarious offbeat comedy. I say "offbeat" since the main love interest is a large black man named Barry, who will woo you like you've never been woo-ed before. This is not your normal Hollywood comedy, it's got more of an "Arrested Development" feel - a funny script and Bob Odenkirk's direction (and supporting player role) make this work. Basically, this film takes every men's prison cliché and pushes it ten times further. If you've ever wanted to just stay in and drink toilet wine with a loved one, then this film should resonate with you. This is destined to end up a cult movie since it's not exactly mainstream humor, but if you're a fan of Odenkirk and David Cross's "Mr. Show," you'll find a lot here to enjoy - and you'll also find the very tall Brian Posner standing in a crowd scene near the end.
