It's definitely a guilty pleasure movie.
Fun but pointless
I did actually see this at the cinema when it first came out and remember thinking it was a bit ridiculous then, yet for some reason whenever it's on cable I always find myself re-watching it.
I'm a fan of inappropriate, gross out humour, but I did think it was trying a bit too hard in places, namely the p*nis song.
Still, Diaz and Applegate do have good chemistry, Jason Bateman is hilarious in his few scenes and while I couldn't say it was bust a gut funny I did laugh consistently throughout it.
Can't rate it any higher than 5 though due to the pretty paper thin plot.
