This film is really really terrible. The plot is non existent and the acting; well, I wouldn't say the acting is bad because there isn't actually any acting in it. Its just basically Tom green getting all the little warped ideas and skits he's had swimming around in his head, onto film. So, having said all that. Why did I find myself laughing my ass of for most of the film ? If you find the idea of someone swinging a newborn baby around by its umbilical cord to revive it funny, then you will love this movie !
Basically, this film will appeal to about 1% of the population at best. Those die hard Tom Green fans with extremely twisted senses of humour. Even then, Its not funny as a film but plays more like a series of fairly unrelated sketches, most of which are sick beyond belief !
This film is kicked to death in about every review I have seen. 'Bizarre' magazine seem to quite like it which speaks volumes. I can't really argue with any of these reviews but I still found it hugely entertaining.
Unless you fall into the minority group I have described about, don't buy this movie.
I know the ratings I have given don’t really tie up to the review I have written but I am trying to speak for a majority to which I don't really belong. I can't recommend something which I think most of you will hate (at best), but all I can say is that I enjoyed it and there is a VERY slim chance that you will too.

(+) Because of the new series the box set isn't complete, which means it will be cheaper! (-) It isnt the complete box set so you'll have to buy the new dvds seperatly or wait for the new set!
I agree on what you are trying to say here, yes, it is slightly funny (stupid really) However, more detail is needed in this op for you to back up your claim.

Hiya - could do with some more detail on what's happening - I've heard this sucks but don't know whether I might be in the 1% cos I've never seen TG's act. Cheers for the CoT add btw!
