If you like people making fart jokes and drinking beer. This movie probably still isn't for you because they attempt to do that but still fail. Couple good giggles here and there but mostly dry and poor jokes. If you fall asleep during this movie. Don't feel bad. 10 minutes basically sums it all up.

As a basic movie with a story line, this film was weak. As a comedy, it was great, but you have to like this type of humor. It is a bunch of snobby one liners full of crude humor. I am a fan of this humor and it had me laughing from start to finish. The cast is pretty decent and you could tell they just all had fun. Artie Lange was the fat idiot; although he looks skinnier in this movie than other ones I have seen him in. Ralph Macchio is in the film and he was not as funny as the others, but he still shows some acting skills. There are so many side characters in the film that it is hard to list them all. I am guessing they were just friends who got to be in the film. Some were Louis Lombardi, Jim Breuer and even Tina Fey. Some other side characters had bigger parts and were just as funny. Two characters I enjoyed a lot were Joe Lo Truglio who was wearing cut off jean shorts. That had me laughing every time he wore them. Then you have Jerry Minor who played the so called "token black guy". But that was to everyone else and not him. Then the actor who had the best lines in the movie was Seymour Cassel. The things he said really had me laughing. So overall, a pretty decent comedy, but as a full movie, it was just OK.

This movie was funny from beginning to end (and I am not a Howard Stern fan). Everyone has different tastes but after reading some other comments I have to ask one question. What would you expect from an Artie Lange movie!?! This isn't aimed at the Fraser Crain's of the world. It's aimed at normal everyday people who don't take themselves too seriously and don't have to over analyze every movie they see. Yes it's dirty and vulgar and full of penis jokes but it somehow still ends up being a very cute movie. It will win no awards for a suspenseful plot and there were no surprises but I thought the comedic acting was fabulous and the dialog very funny. Basically, if you don't have a stick up your butt you will probably like it and you will have a smile on your face when it's over.

A great movie for anyone who grew up in Northern NJ or near the city. Now, certain people people will not get it - yes you Mr. Kansas City - just like I might not appreciate cow tipping or sex with animals, etc.This is simply the way it was/is - the local bar scene, diners after (or a run to the City) and of course, softball and the shore. The language is authentic (Bro, douchebag, multiple repetitions of the F word) and so are the characters. It helps to be a Yankee fan. I like Howard but I not overly so and Artie was never one of my favorites. The bachelor party seen is something that simply happens around here. Out of towners and non-baseball fans will miss some of the jokes who cares - don't get it. we'll still take your money when you come to visit NYC, legally or otherwise."Tanks" for comin' but now it's time to bang it up.
