If you're here, you may have already seen this movie. And you probably feel cheated for watching it. It seems like a nepotism filled cast of characters that are not being held to any standards or direction. The word quality never made it to this script. So, was it a comedy? Was it an adventure? Just what was it? Whatever it was, it was filled with worthless scenes and empty acting. I'm willing to bet that some of the actors were sorry for doing this movie. It was BAD.

I just didn't know idiots came in so many colors.I can understand people lose interest in this movie quickly, because it's kind of a weird one. The story isn't much for one. But for second I can't think of any negative ;).This movie has a very clever way of telling jokes and I guess if your not bright enough you simply don't get them. I admit that some jokes took me some time and got to me after watching it. After watching it a second time I even got more jokes out of it. I believe that's my problem and not that of the movie.The acting is impressive too, because the characters are almost too absurd to imagine, but they are put down very realistically.

The movie is about a comedy writer interviewing little league suburbanite parents who each seem to be suffering from a distinct and hilarious personality disorder. Each of the suburbanites are played by top notch comedian whom I've seen in other roles and have enjoyed. Ironically Garlin plays the straight man to the wacky cast of characters he's forced to deal with. If I had one criticism, it would be that the film had a lack of an ending. However, despite that fact, it didn't take away from the ride, and during that ride you knew you were experiencing something unique anyway. Uniqueness is what I feel like is missing from most movies and in that, this film delivers. A hidden gem and worth a watch, I look forward to more from Jeff Garlin.

Despite the fact that that large woman who hasn't been in enough movies for me to remember her name yet is REALLY funny, I felt like I was watching Nickelodeon at that time of the day. Probably because Lethal Weapon was one of the first movies I saw and they've made the same movie every week since then. There's a straight cop and an unconventional one, bad guys fall down dead, drugs are bad. And yet the movie has generally positive reviews and a 7.1 on this site as of last night... Every time I fall for it, it gets harder not to be genuinely angry about the waste of my 90 minutes."Dealin' with Idiots", on the other hand, was fracking great. It's got Jeff Garlin, Bob Odenkirk, Fred Willard, JB Smoove, one of the other good characters from 'Curb', and you get to see Gina Gershon for a few minutes too. Nothing about the movie is immature or silly to me. This is not the dad from American Pie doing a spin off with some up and coming teabag from the internet pissing in your face for an hour. This is not 2 but 4 or 5 extremely talented comedians giving great performances with a funny script from a pretty fresh perspective. Jeff Garlin is great, and if someone doesn't watch it because it had a 4.9 on IMDb like it did last night when I downloaded it, this site needs to go away because it's hurting the film industry way more than me and my lack of funds ever will. It's great, if have some brain cells left after watching network TV lately you should do what I can't and pay to see it online. I digress... the ending was a bit abrupt, I thought seeing them at a soccer game would've been a nice touch.
