    The worst movie I've ever seen!!!!

    I don't try to be puritan, but after watching this movie, I had to go to take a shower, so I could get rid of the stench this movie impregnated on me.

    The only really funny and clever moment of all the movie was the first scene parodying the war in Iraq.

    The rest was a bunch of WAY over-the-top gross and obscene scenes, so gross it made Tom Green's movies look like Tom Hanks' movies.

    This is the kind of movie Howard Stern would watch and say: "boy, I wouldn't even try that!"

    In other words, IT'S A WASTE OF TIME!!

    Funny!

    I went to the New York City premiere last night and the crowd outside on 42nd street was so psyched and pumped to just catch a glimpse of the stars of this film. After seeing the movie, I can understand why people love this show. The adventures of these two radio guys from NY is quite funny! Crude and silly humor for fans and non-fans alike. Fans of the show will love seeing the antics of the people they wake up with every morning--but you don't have to know much about the show to enjoy the craziness on screen. For your gringo amigos, it is subtitled. Leave the kids at home and laugh, laugh, laugh!!! Strip club and horse scene are a riot!! Loads of sex and innuendo and funnier than many so-called comedies that come out of Hollywood.If you're a prude it's probably too crude for you...so stay home and watch reruns of The Waltons. I bet John-Boy never "helped" a horse!! More Carolina in the sequel please.

    Funny... not for the faint-hearted... could have been better

    This movie is essentially a collection of vignettes that describe the mental process behind Luis Jiménez's desire to make a movie that portraits some of the (rather outrageous) phone calls he (and his partner Moonshadow) receive at their radio morning show, which is New York's most popular. Luis Jiménez, perhaps, comes across as a neurotic, Moonshadow steals the show (he's the one on the bunch, besides Juan Manuel Lebrón and Paul Rodriguez, with some acting experience) as his own self (a fun-loving prankster and notorious miser), and Rubén Ithier, acting in a very decent performance before he was deported from the U.S. permanently, does his job as bearer of the brunt of the visual jokes.

    The movie suffers from overacting from almost everyone on screen at one time or another (but we're dealing with radio people, for the most part, so coming up with convincing acting in front of a camera is rather an achievement for all of them). The plot suffers a bit from predictability at most of its key scenes (perhaps on purpose: Jiménez and Agustín perhaps want to build up on it for comic effect), but the vignettes are rather clever... genius, at times (the Iraqi prison scene is a riot). The movie parodies other films (Rocky I, Raging Bull and The Matrix, among others) are quite absurd, and funny as a result. However, the movie itself has no ending, and the attempts to finish it with animation fall flat.

    I loved: Carolina Cadillo, both in answering machine mode and in person (she could have been far more time on screen), the Tetona subplot and Moonshadow's Rocky scene. I hated: the Platanoman vignette not being given a more decent plot. Could have been better if: some scenes were shortened (example, the g-string incident). More visual gags and less bodily fluids, please... Perhaps some cameos.
