This film does a good job in adapting Dave Barry's satirical observations on the foibles of the male gender and creates a funny gem of an independent film. Although women would surely see the truth and humor in this film, men would also find it funny.John Cleese, Dave Barry, and Dan Marino all give memorable performances in this film.The tongue-in-cheek humor and the episodic skits are reminiscent of "Hollywood Shuffle."Those familiar with Barry's many books will find the handling of this film true to his brand of humor.

I was sitting about two thirds of the way back, on the right side. Occasionally something happened that made the sound go weird, but I really liked this movie. It wasn't like everything else you see out there, and I give it a lot of credit for that. I liked how they brought the two couples in and out a lot, and I think they could have used them even more. The Dan Marino thing was hilarious, and I liked the bits with the repair guy. And the thing about the fictional baseball player, I always liked running gags like that.It was fun to see a movie that didn't do things the usual way. I get tired of these cookie- cutter formula deals. I'm not saying everything worked, because not all the jokes came off the way they probably wanted them to. But the majority of the scenes were really good.I didn't know a lot about Dave Barry but after this movie I am definitely a fan. I was grinning the whole way through it and laughing out loud more than once.

Loved it! Laughed my head off!! Was lucky to sneak into the world premiere at Santa Barbara International Film Festival. Was booked out. Had me in stitches. Dave Barry is so cool. Anything he touches turns to gold. John Cleese's scenes cracked me up totally. It was a fast paced comedy and there was always something to laugh at for the more intelligent person. Is not mainstream or formula or basic humor for the bozo. Every word is brilliant and a must see. Will take you by surprise. The sound at the Arlington theater did not do the film justice as it was cranked through a P.A. system with dubious sound and everyone was talking about this issue. This apparently is always the case at the Arlington. Some people were struggling to hear. I was in a decent position near a speaker and I had the time of my life. Went home with sore abs from all the laughing.

Last night I watched the world premiere of this movie at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. While it made me chuckle several times, it just didn't seem to be very cohesive. I tended to enjoy the bits set in the modern day versus the silly caveman scenes. Though I am a big fan of John Cleese, his scenes didn't do much for me in this movie. One my favorite bits was Dan Marino explaining proper urinal etiquette. I think that was one of problems, it was more just a collection of bits than a complete movie. Some of the scenes were tied together, but it didn't seem to flow very well. With a $17.50 ticket price for this 72 minute film, I didn't feel I got my money's worth.** (out of 4)
