Every now and then I need to watch a dumb movie. The last time I laughed like this was "Dumb and Dumber." This movie doesn't reach that level of dumb, but it's close. The makers of this movie were obviously aiming low and I think they hit their mark. If you are expecting something more than base, lowdown, politically incorrect, bathroom humor, then do not see this movie.
Don't listen to these pseudo-intellectuals who think humor has to be smart. Personally, I think it's healthy to laugh at stupid, and this is pretty stupid. In fact it's so stupid that of the three main characters, Larry the Cable Guy's character is the smart one.
The movie starts off predictable, using jokes and setups from Bill Engvall's and Larry the Cable Guy's comedy acts. But, the movie proceeds into new territory once it gets moving.
I mean c'mon! The three lame "reservists" bury their sergeant, who turns out is not dead, and the person giving the eulogy throws in a final prayer asking God to help him win the Powerball lottery. "I don't care who you are, that's funny."
It is perfect for what it is, and if you watch it with that attitude you'll laugh.
