rblade963 I was late getting around to seeing this one. Didn't see "The Show" but this movie reminded me of Joe Dirt meets Jackass in that you have a ridiculous character on a verity of adventures and completely crazy antics that absolutely carry this film. It was fun the script was very well written and as I said before making a comedy is one of the hardest movies to make. This one certainly does justice to comedy, threw out the film you never had to think about anything, you can sit back and really enjoy this mindless yet hilarious film. I think the best thing about this film is it's forward momentum and once it gets going it doesn't let up until the end.-Spoiler- My favorite part in the film has to be the first time the English sales man/producer meets Ronnie. The metaphors being used while they are climbing up the scaffolding had me rolling, honestly never laughed so hard at such a silly dialog. What a really funny movie. Not the greatest comedy but not the worst this will be one for my DVD collection. It's a keeper.

zetes This film is based on characters from the mid-to-late '90s HBO sketch comedy show Mr. Show, which starred Bob Odenkirk and David Cross. Mr. Show, which I just rewatched in its entirety in the past couple of weeks, has a reputation as being one of the best sketch comedy shows ever. Personally, I wouldn't rank it anywhere near as high as many others. It was far more hit-and-miss than its fans like to believe. For every great sketch, you'd have to suffer through at least one completely lame sketch. That said, when the show did hit upon something good, it was truly memorable. And the Ronnie Dobbs sketches, of which there were two in the show's 30 episode run, are definitely a couple of the best they did. This movie basically retells the Ronnie Dobbs sketches over 90 minutes. And, as Saturday Night Live has proved again and again, what works in 5 minute segments doesn't stretch out well to 90 minutes. But even most of SNL's movies surpass this one (although not It's Pat!). This movie is incredibly unfunny. The only thing that works – kind of – are a couple of the songs that pop up occasionally. The only other Mr. Show characters that appear in the film are the members of R&B group 3 x 1 – 1, and that little music video they do was one of the few tolerable things in the movie. Jack Black, who appeared in several episodes of Mr. Show, gets a funny little non-sequitur song that's supposed to have been cut from a Mary Poppins-like movie. And the fat kid action sequence was slightly amusing. The only performer who is consistently entertaining is SNL's David Koechner, who, IMO, is one of the most underrated of SNL performers. Other than that, the film is terrible. Even Bob & David have disowned it, so I would suggest that even fans of the show should just ignore its existence.

brian robinson This movie was perfect. I saw it like 10 million times in one day. And then i saw it again, like 100 million times, within the next week. It's so funny that my acid reflux acted up from all my laughing. My insides were burning like dry tinder on a fire started from dryer tinder. David Cross makes me laugh. And when i laugh i get acid reflux. Bob Odenkirk is like the straight guy of the duo. Straight? I don't know about that - hahahahaha. is he married? But i've been watching Mr. Show forever and was waiting for this movie to come out for a long time. When it did i squirted all over the place, cleaned myself up, and watched it 10 million times in one day. If you do watch this movie, make sure you have plenty of corn chips, trust me, you're going to need them. Trust me.

gcoffaro2000 While not the best movie ever(The God of Cookery gets that lofty title), any Mr. Show fan MUST love it. While the humor may not be blatant enough, any true comedy fan knows the funny is in the details. If I had a dime for every idiot who thinks funny equals poo-poo and farts, I could make a crazy dime kingdom. And from this dime kingdom I would declare all those without a well developed sense of humor terrorists, and you know what we think of terrorists. Oh yeah, to everyone who did not like this, you are the reason The Pacifier made so much money. Shame, shame! P.s. Who the fusk lists their I.Q. in a movie review? You pompous bastards. smooches...Watch The God of cookery if you don't love it you have no soul.
