Pros: A lot of funny stuff, and good performances.
Cons: Some will be offended by the sex jokes, and the male nudity.
Summary: I wasn't sure what to expect. What I got was a pretty darn funny movie that managed to be somewhat vulgar, but never stepped too far over the line into overly-raunchy material. In other words, it was a well-balanced movie that most adults ... read more
