That may be damning this thing with faint praise. However, this is one of the funniest flicks I have seen in a while and I think it is an indication of the perverse nature of IMDb that it didn't rate higher. If this had been scripted by Charles Kaufman then all you sports jacket wearing mofo's would be worshipping like some kind of object of worship.
Great performances, and the alternative ending on the DVD is even funnier than the one in the film. This gives you a real feeling that there is more to Pauly Shore than sub Bill and Ted Fare like Bio-dome and hopefully he will get some better projects as a result of this film.

It's always great to see someone who can laugh at himself, and even make fun of himself in ways that most people aren't brave enough to do. Pauly is totally exposing what has to be at least a little painful: His "has-been-ness". It's too bad this wasn't able to be released in theaters. My boyfriend even thought it was really funny, and he's always despised Pauly Shore's movies and "weasel" stuff. Many will also find it at least somewhat inspirational, his being so vulnerable and open. Lots and lots of familiar faces too, plenty of great cameos. It's hard to believe how many people came on board to help out with this project. Check it out, chances are you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Well, it wasn't a total waste of time. Never before have I seen a movie with over 60 recognized celebrities and as many more that I probably would never recognize. It's like watching an awards show.
Pauly Shore, with a splendid resume that includes such Razzie favorites as Encino Man, Jury Duty, and Bio-Dome, decides that he is better off dead. Only then does he get recognition. It is so much easier to say nice things about the dead.
There are some laughs hers, and you get to see Pamela Anderson, but that's about it. Shore doesn't do much more in his directorial debut that he does in his films.

I've always like Pauly Shore, Thought I'd rent this for a laugh, what a mistake, He wrote directed and stared in it. What is up, can't he get any jobs in Hollywood? I always thought he was funny.Why not make a second part to "In the Army", any way, don't bother, or waste your time on this one! I really hated the parts where he is jacking off while talking to his Mom on the phone! What does his Mom think about this when she see's it! Son in law was funny too. So I watched it, took it back to Blockbuster and asked them why they even have a copy of it on their shelves, they said it only goes out like once a month. Well I hope this is 10 lines so I can quit typing!
This "movie" is so amateurish it feels intentional. There's tons of unfortunate sexism, racism & homophobia, made worse by the fact that Shore is playing himself. The amount of star cameos implies a bunch of random favors were called-in. However, the oddity of this project's conceit is undeniable. A pseudo-genius mix of autobiography & complete fiction, it shows a Pauly Shore who is more self-aware & self-effacing than I would've imagined.
