Fire at Will!

I guess that surreal would have been a better bet – it’s just that whilst everything that occurs can be seen to be a bit crazy, it’s not beyond the realms of reality for someone to have done what they do! Sounds stupid but I guess that’s why I put that. You definitely should see it, the bunk-bed scene is great but you will be surprised how raunchy and offensive it is too! Great movie. |

Thanks for the endorsement Will. I’ve kinda wanted to see this since seeing the very funny trailer in front of Semi-Pro. In particular, I still get a laugh every time I see the bunk bed scene. My only question about your review: completely Natural? Really? We all know plenty of dudes who are stuck in extended adolescence, but I’m thinking this movie pushes outside the reality envelope. |
