Featured reviews
This is a really funny and well made comedy intended for a younger audience. There were lots of laughs throughout, and I almost fell out of my seat on a few occasions.My only real criticize is that the plot got mixed up a few times. The basic camera work was good but not excellent for the actions scenes. I also liked the sound track music.. I particularly liked the great looking girls in the beach scenes, but would have preferred a little more skin.A couple of the actors and actresses tended to overact at times. Some of the lines were a little gross at times, but did not really take away from the particular scene. There was too much slapstick in scenes inside the vehicles. Mikey stole the show.
This movie kicked butt. It reminded me a lot of the classic comedic films that I grew up watching as a kid. It is like a Police Academy, Animal House hybrid for the new millennium, but better. Politically incorrect at its best.
Just about every single character in the movie was funny and memorable. Especially the Neil and Bob characters. I felt like these guys should be on Saturday Night Live or something. They were definitely my favorite part of the movie.
Only, I wanted to see more at the end. But other than that, I Absolutely Loved It!

This movie truly seemed as if it were written by a pair of stoned fourteen year olds that just discovered softcore porn and boobs. To say that the humor was sophomoric is an understatement. There is no sign of intelligent life here; not that one would expect any. Yet slapstick humor serves a purpose and this title just falls short in every category. Nothing but crude and unfunny dirty jokes, sexually repressed writing and bad characters. The lead in this movie may just be the most unlikable character in recent comedy history. Somehow stalker tendencies turn into sweet nothings whispered into the ears of fourteen year old perverts in the middle of the most disturbing nocturnal emissions. Disgusting film with a ridiculous plot, pitiful and childish writing followed by terrible performances from actors portraying annoying characters. If you have any semblance of a brain, you'll do some good and stay the hell away from this garbage.
I took my son to see this. He loved it. It was a bit much for me, but I'm glad he enjoyed himself. It was neat giving my son the history lessons on what other films led up to this one. For me, it felt very much like the 1980's comedies of which when I was closer to my son's age just loved. Titles that came to mind were Police Academy, Moving Violations, Stripes (Ox/John Candy being the Karl character, Rich being the Bill Murray character, the female love interest the nudity and raunchiness in general), Porky's, Revenge of the Nerds etc.
If it was up to me I'd probably give the movie a six, but for my son's sake I gave it an 8. Perhaps I'm out of the loop or just getting too old for the raunch factor. Either way it was a fun outing. A caution to other parents however strong language, nudity, gross out humor, and general distaste for decency.

You know, I wonder sometimes how stupid a film promoter can be....
Every review but one here is by a person extolling the different virtues of the film in PR speak, and bad PR speak at that.
If you want to shill a movie, then at least have the decency to credit the members here with some degree of intelligence.
3 pages of PR, all obviously written by the same amateur promoter does NOT entice anyone to watch what is basically a single fart gag retold in 10 different ways.
I rest my case. If anyone considers watching this junk then they deserve everything they get Including me. :) Cheers, Will

- TriviaFilmed entirely in San Diego, California using two ambulances from a defunct private ambulance company (Star Ambulance). The red "DIC" ambulance is painted with the scheme for Rural/Metro ambulances (San Diego City's contracted 911 service), while the blue "BALS" ambulance maintains the color scheme of Star Ambulance. Throughout the movie it can be seen that the interior door jambs of the red "DIC" ambulance are in fact the same blue color as the "BALS" unit.
