About
If you enjoy raunchy, fast-paced slapstick and “South Park”-style humor with a goofy sports premise, this should land; Not for you if you want subtle comedy, a tight story, or are put off by crude jokes like in Naked Gun 33⅓.
Pros: rapid-fire silly jokes; clever sports satire; highly quotable moments | Cons: crude raunchy humor; uneven hit-or-miss gags; story can drag
