About
You may enjoy this if you want a loud, silly, family-leaning comedy with broad gags and a busy parade of characters; Not for you if you want sharp satire, a tight story, or lots of focus on the main duo.
Pros: colorful, energetic spectacle; a few big laughs; memorable supporting turns | Cons: thin, messy story; humor often forced; too many cameos
