About
You’ll probably enjoy this if you want a loud, profane road-trip comedy packed with Hollywood jabs and cameo overload; Not for you if you dislike crude humor or need a tightly focused plot like in Dogma.
Pros: lots of laughs; profane road-trip fun; plenty of cameos | Cons: jokes uneven; story can drag; humor may feel crude
