I generally like Broken Lizard creations - club Dread, Super Troopers.. etc... But this film was simply far, far too predictable in storyline.
There's absolutely no anticipation in the storyline. It's all so predictable it's merely one expected scene after another expected scene. If one knows the entire outcome of the film, actually sitting through it is an effort and unenjoyable. This is the first Broken Lizard film I can think of which was so terribly predictable. In fact, I think jokes land better if you can't anticipate how the ultimate story ends. This film was merely "going through the motions."
Sure some of the jokes were good. However, actually sitting through the story, which contains absolutely no mystery, made it more drudgery to get to the jokes than anything else.
I also don't think Lemme merely mussing up his hair, bending over, and moving his mouth to the left was a good choice to make Quasi unattractive. I mean, did they have zero money for makeup??? It seemed like a VERY weak choice. Surely, they could have done more.
This film "feels" like it was written on auto-pilot. No surprises whatsoever. I'd rather rewatch ANY other Broken Lizard film - which I should have done rather than wasting time on this film.
