alecfederov91 First off, I am a 4.0 student NCAA athlete and attend Georgetown law school so I am NOT a druggie a burnout or some loser on the street. This movie is awesome and is absolutely hilarious. And what every critic here has not even brought up IS THE MUSIC!! This movie has the best background music around. All awesome classic rock, and govt mule. The only reason why I didn't give it a 10 is because of the ending which ruins it cause I hate the antagonist as much as Artie. I'm not going to give it away because you need to see the movie. It truly is a funny flick and one that is quoted amongst my friends all the time. Don't listen to all the people on here that bash it because they don't get it or have never played on a beer league team or have never had a friend that resembles Artie. This movie is in my top 10 collection and is the best around.

Paul Celano (chelano) As a basic movie with a story line, this film was weak. As a comedy, it was great, but you have to like this type of humor. It is a bunch of snobby one liners full of crude humor. I am a fan of this humor and it had me laughing from start to finish. The cast is pretty decent and you could tell they just all had fun. Artie Lange was the fat idiot; although he looks skinnier in this movie than other ones I have seen him in. Ralph Macchio is in the film and he was not as funny as the others, but he still shows some acting skills. There are so many side characters in the film that it is hard to list them all. I am guessing they were just friends who got to be in the film. Some were Louis Lombardi, Jim Breuer and even Tina Fey. Some other side characters had bigger parts and were just as funny. Two characters I enjoyed a lot were Joe Lo Truglio who was wearing cut off jean shorts. That had me laughing every time he wore them. Then you have Jerry Minor who played the so called "token black guy". But that was to everyone else and not him. Then the actor who had the best lines in the movie was Seymour Cassel. The things he said really had me laughing. So overall, a pretty decent comedy, but as a full movie, it was just OK.

GrigoryGirl It's really surprising that some people on this thread adore this film. It shows you how low standards have sunk. I watched this late night on Comedy Central (it was uncut and uncensored), and I was appalled at how awful it really is. Artie Lange has absolutely no presence as a leading man. He ends up ruining the film. Honestly, it's not that great of a script (big fat slob who has good looking girlfriend who wants him to get a real job, etc., etc..), but with a halfway decent actor, it might have been OK. But with Lange, it's complete garbage.I had only heard of Artie Lange after a friend of mine sent me a clip of him at a Comedy Central roast of William Shatner. Artie Lange said at the roast that Lisa Lampinelli was seven bad movies away from being Janeane Garofalo (he also called Ms. Garofalo a f***ing c***, which shows you his maturity level). Well, Janeane has made some bad films, but nothing she's made compares to this garbage, and Janeane has tons of screen presence and is usually the best thing in the films she does. Many fans of Artie like him for his standup and appearances on Howard Stern, and say he's not really film/TV material. So perhaps Mr. Lange should just concentrate on standup and radio, and not do feature films.

sbs5cats Watched/listened to this train wreck on the "Secret Stash" on Comedy Central last night. At this hour, it wasn't too censored and I found it virtually unwatchable. Not since Manos: The Hands of Fate, back in the Mystery Science Theater 3000 days, has Comedy Central fielded such garbage. Would actually rather have seen a 44th rerun of an old "Dave Chapelle Show" than to be subjected to this. Most of the commercials were sustaining (Comedy Central) as I can imagine they would have had a hard time attracting any advertising save for local cable stuff. In my opinion, after "Manos", this is the worst movie Comedy Central has ever shown.Skip it!
