About
You may enjoy this if you like broad, silly adventure comedies and don’t mind jokes that range from clever to crude, in the vein of Without a Paddle or Joe Dirt; Not for you if you want sharp, consistent humor.
Pros: goofy road-trip energy; a few big laughs; memorable supporting bits | Cons: hit-or-miss humor; uneven pacing; some crude gags
