About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a loud, absurd, quote-heavy comedy in the same vein as Happy Gilmore or The Waterboy; Not for you if you dislike childish humor, crude bits, or a deliberately ridiculous premise.
Pros: nonstop goofy energy; quotable silly moments; nostalgic school setting | Cons: immature crude humor; thin predictable story; jokes hit-or-miss
