This movie is for teens and people in their early 20s tops. It was a barrel of laughs for me growing up. Watching it decades later and after so many other and better comedies, it doesn't really hold up that well. With that being said, if you want to watch something over the top and juvenile this is highly recommended!
I had medium expectations, because the Wayne's brothers are all hilarious, but I'd never heard of the movie, which isn't a good sign. First of all, never judge a movie and how funny it is if you watch it on cable. The editors and censors on TV edit some very funny stuff out of movies. The jokes still make me laugh just as hard. Marlon Wayans really shows off his comedic talent in this, probably more than any other movie he's ever done. See it and you'll know what I mean. The script is solid, and David Spade is the same as always, which is a good thing. I love the line "Dad, I know you love me! Remember that time you almost said it?" Marlon Wayens is a college student who has lots of jobs in order to survive. But the biggest job he wants is a Wall Street firm he will do whatever it takes to get it so when went to see some guy who did a test subject on him that makes his senses be king size greater then any average human. But if he take a over dose he can lose his sense's at a time. The stuff has to wear off at a time by it leaking out of him on it's own. I thought it was funny when he meat this homeless person he couldn't see at the time the homeless person knew it so he took advantage and stole his clothes he was nude. Marlon Wayans is truly funny, however, for the life of me I don't see why he keeps doing these slapstick/bathroom humor movies. He's in the vein of Will Smith, Eddie Murphy, Robin Williams, etc. who can do funny ad libs. You know most of what he said wasn't in the script. David Spade was actually pretty good and annoying in the movie as the smug rich little daddy's kid. But tops goes to Wayan's roommate. There really are his types in college the extremely experimental yet good hearted dope.

Yes. This movie is predictable. You do not have to watch very long before you may guess almost everything that will happen, and sure enough, it does. No surprises anywhere. In addition, as in many other movies which Marlon Wayans appears in, a lot of the jokes is pretty juvenile and of "low" quality, focusing on stuff you thought were funny when you were five years old and very tired. The again, some of the jokes, still being juvenile, is actually funny. So, as it turns out, as a whole, the movie is entertaining. Not the best comedy ever made, but I have seen a lot worse too.
Wayans does his stuff as can be expected, not raising any eyebrows (for his performance anyway) nor disappointing. However, personally, I hoped for David Spade to have a bigger role. In my opinion he is a very good comedian but does not have any chance to show it in this movie.
To conclude, do not have the greatest expectations, sit back and enjoy.

Unlike some of the other users who have rated this film I enjoyed it. I am not a person who has the right to judge a film all I know is that it was not a bad movie. Matthew Lillard is a very good actor this might not have been him best movie but it was one of them. If you liked this movie you might also like Hackers it is a movie also casting Matthew. Scream is one of many others he plays in. It might be of a different genre but he bring comedy to a horror movie and that is not a easy task to uphold.
I'd never even heard of Senseless, but it was recommended to me with high praise - so I gave it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised, well, I'm not saying it was fantastic - but I did laugh enough to make watching worth my while.
It may help being a fan of one of the actors. I'm not a huge Wayans fan, any of the, how many of them are there? Anyway, nor am I a huge fan of Spade, although he has his moments. I am a huge Matthew Lillard fan, though (no, I'm not a 16 year old girl!) and I found his performance typically Lillard-esque - which is entertaining no matter what the role is - or how under-written his part is. Any fan of Matt will at least get something out of this movie. Keeping in mind I am not a huge Wayans or Spade fan, both gave good performances. Wayans had some great moments.
Directed by Penelope Spheeris, (Wayne's World) - Senseless is overall a pretty good movie with a warm ending, which, being as it *is* a comedy, is a *lot* better than a cold ending!
6.5/10

Darryl: You, you better fix that damn watch. And you rich girl, we know you have money. Put that damn diamond away. And you British guy, if you are going to live in this country you better go see a damn dentist about that stink-ass breath. You smell like hot garbage.
