Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The director allowed the actors, particularly Dane Cook, to improvise extensively, often diverging completely from the script. He would sometimes run 20 or more takes, letting the performers do something different every time, before settling on a few of those ideas in order to get pick-ups or close-ups. This made life particularly interesting for the principal and background actors in the scene with Dane, as well as for the prop and sound personnel. more

Only possible with Dane Cook, 24 November 2008

I just got back within the last hour of watching this movie at my local cinema and I can honestly say this movie is actually pretty dam good. I first got into watching Dane Cook when he starred in the laugh out load comedy Good Luck Chuck so yes I'll admit I haven't seen a lot of his films but after this I sure as hell with definitely go back and watch some of his older films because he's so funny and great at pulling off one liners. The film dabbles a lot in the F word and yes it gets over used but at the end of the day the films still good, still funny and if it wasn't for Dane Cook then this movie would have probably sucked. My overall review…. Go and see this movie if you enjoy watching Dane Cook because it's as good as it can be.
