Harold C. @ChambersContent Oct 13 Raunchy, uneven, and occasionally dated, this sketch-driven satire still finds surprising relevance in today’s world. While not every bit lands, the sharp balance of crude humor and faux-journalistic absurdity keeps the laughs steady, especially in standout segments like Vanessa Cherry’s songs and the Brendan Leroux story.

Such hits as Take Me From Behind, Shoot Your Love All Over Me and Down On My Knees were total banger, and the message was also very nice. Capitalism does in fact prevent terrorism! See more thiago s @Thiagostone Feb 27 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, a história é fraca e desinteressante, as cenas são fracas, e também não tiveram cenas relevantes e cenas que pudesse melhorar o filme, e o elenco é muito ruim, e ninguém ajudou a melhorar o filme.

I think we need more outrageous and offensive movies like this so people will start to lighten up and not take everything so seriously. See more Read all reviews
