i remember seeing previews for this and thought it was what it was marketed as. a quirky comedy. at blockbuster, it was in the comedy section as well. imagine our discomfort when we sat down to watch it with some friends. where is the mention of the homoerotic undertones? sure it's symbolic yadda-yadda, but i felt like it was purposely misleading. that said, it was a good movie, but knowing more about it going in would have prevented some squirming in our seats.

I liked Deuce Bigalow (mainly because of Eddie Griffin), and decided to give this a chance mainly because we were at the mall and it happened to be starting in five minutes. It was painfully bad. I laughed mainly from nervous embarrassment for everybody involved. Whenever a bit was close to being funny, they ran it into the ground. Sandler's cameo is lame, but Norm McDonald's may have been the best part of the movie. Please don't see it. I beg you.

the pilot was a good start to the show. it will take some getting used to after the x-files. much different pacing and tone, but it stands alone pretty well. as for the readers who criticize the grammar of the title - IT'S A PLAY ON WORDS! think about it for a few seconds.
