THE GOOD:…No matter how bad the script (and this one is pretty bad) Spade still has a few classic moments of comedic brilliance, my favorite being when he goes into a litany naming various types of fireworks. THE NOT-SO-GOOD:…Basically this movie is full of gross-out comedy. I find it interesting that making fun of poor, extremely dysfunctional white trash, is an easy target for Hollywood writers, probably because it’s one of the last groups of people they can make fun of and no one complains. If this was a portrayal of poor blacks and used the same clichés to ridicule them, the NAACP would have a field day with this movie. The rest of the movie is filled with crude bathroom and sex-related humor, an implied sexual situation with a girl on a bed but both are clothed. Drinking, dysfunctional parents, abandonment issues are explored in dialogue.
