AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

elshikh4 The plot of how Slammin Salmon, the owner of a fish restaurant, challenges all of his wait staff to sell more food than what they have ever sold in one night for an expensive prize, to come up with $20,000 he owes to the head of the Japanese Yakuza—could have produced a night of high-octane comedy, full of witty conflicts between the wait staff and each others, the customers, and their always angry boss. However, the result is a weary time. So why is that ?! Most of the scenes, if not all of them, pass by without any smiling. It's in the script, which couldn't be more empty. The thing isn't about having few comic ideas only, it's about lacking developing them appropriately too. For instance; April Bowlby has a burned face. OK. What did that do else freaking everybody throughout ?! Jay Chandrasekhar has a destructive alter ego. OK. What did he do else fantasizing about cats ?! Paul Soter plays 2 characters. OK. What did that lead to else the end's kiss trick ?! (And although the chief's character was amusing, but he didn't have much time as his totally unfunny brother !!).The rest of the ideas were too silly, pretty tacky, not to mention freely disgusting. For instance; why did the chief's twin suddenly run from the boss at one moment ?!! What was the point of making that character intoxicated in the first place ?! (So his blue lips would make laughs ??). And speaking of freely disgusting refers to no other than the ring situation. Does eating something from someone's feces is comic ?! IT'S EMATIC FOR GOD'S SAKE !! As if that isn't enough, the script resorts to fabricate stuff to make laughs; ask yourself from where did the bloody hair of April Bowlby come from ?!! Or how Jay Chandrasekhar gets nuts AFTER taking his medicines ?! And when it utterly fails to perfect a good situation or humorous one-liner, it gets to use cursing continuously or bare Chandrasekhar's butt. Simply, how untalented and pathetic !Steve Lemme thought wrongly that his stiffness was coolness, giving so ridiculous performance. What's more painful than saying the stupid joke then laughing at it, pretending that it is funny, while the viewers are in great silence ?!!! The cameos played by people like Vivica A. Fox or Morgan Fairchild were completely wasted. Most probably these actors were near the studio, and the movie-makers invited them to show up in the movie despite not having any funny material, rather any material, for them to perform ! Still, the collective starring is a different element which we don't run into frequently in the cinematic comedies of nowadays. The end's twist, concerning the math's mistake, was unpredictable and – for this movie's standards – surprisingly smart. I liked April Bowlby. She was handed over a somewhat nice character which she did nicely. And she was lucky to star the sole inspired sequence in the whole movie; and I mean the ballet part. Nevertheless, no one was like Michael Clarke Duncan. I loved his mix of loud nervousness, ignorance and vanity. He was the only super comic character and actor around. However, this movie utilized him weakly (Were things like hitting a swordfish, or entering the restaurant on a horse considered funny ?!). It's sorrowful when you know that his screaming moment was the top of what this comedy could deliver !For the Broken Lizard team, I have watched the horrid (Super Troopers) before. This time (The Slammin' Salmon) had more potential, but got lost with a cheap dealing that provided no comedy, which in my viewpoint makes it worse than (Super..). It was supposed to make laughs, though made grins instead. At one point, Duncan was asking "Why nobody is laughing?!" which accurately described me while watching. I hope that this question get to the Broken Lizard team of writers. Maybe they try to learn something about making comedy. Or maybe they learn something about themselves as good cursers, not good comedians !

Nick Zbu I didn't expect much going into this film--mostly because it was direct to video--but I was pleasantly surprised. Broken Lizard always put on a good show and this was no different. Michael Clarke Duncan is the standout of this movie, and his confused malapropisms and general insanity is the brightest point of the film.But the script is a bit hazy, to say the least. The script needed a few more rewrites because the plot just isn't there. It's a big jumbled and changes randomly that, while it doesn't really matter at the end of the movie, it just ends up being strange for the sake of setting up the various bits. They are funny bits, but the plot holding them together (is this really a movie about some manager finally taking a stand? Really??) is worthless. A few rewrites could resolve this with no issue, and could have helped immensely. I'm not asking for a taut plot, but I am asking for one that compliments the funny bits a little more.But the funny bits are classic Broken Lizard. You will not be disappointed at the humor in this film. You need to watch it. Right now.

billshattner As indicated, this movie won't be for everyone; that said, few movies are, particularly in the realm of comedy.In any case, for those of us who enjoy Broken Lizard's other films, this movie is sure to impress. Indeed, it has all their hallmarks: amusing, witty, even absurd dialogue; hilarious ensemble scenes; wonderful character/cameo performances; and an incredibly funny blooper reel during the end credits.And, as others have indicated, Michael Clark Duncan's performance is classic -- just awesome. And to be sure, the two female leads are both great, as well (and quite easy on the eye, it must be said ;).At any rate, as the title of this review indicates, I have no doubt that some people will criticize this film; but for me, it's classic Broken Lizard, and I think that's a great thing! Peace.

andrekutschy This was just another Club Dredd Disappointment....The only two movies that were completely funny, and happened to go to the theaters, was Super Troopers and Beerfest. I will admit the fact that it had some funny parts, because I'm pretty much open to any type of humor. Although, there wasn't enough consistentcy of comedy and flat out humor to keep me amused. If anybody thinks that Broken Lizard has made funnier movies than those two I'm willing to argue, and not only that, beat that hell out of you for thinking there are funnier movies made by the same production...does anybody have the balls to contradict about it? Im waiting...... Because you might as well admit, nothing is funnier than Beerfest and Super Troopers. I stand by my decision. You Broken Lizard Spanks!!!!
