Say it isn't so. Not that Adam Sander as Chuck and Kevin James as Larry play idiot hetero fireman who fake being gay for health benefits. I mean that Sideways writers Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor actually contributed to a script that trots out every fag joke -- yes, even dropping the soap -- and then tells us how wrong it is to laugh. No comedy this year can beat this dud for mealy-mouthed hypocrisy.

Awful. It was just stupid. Not stupid funny. Just stupid.

Not well done at all

Jessica Biel didn't even have a character; they used her lack of shirt for a distraction from how incredibly unimaginative this movie was. (Normally a cover for bad horror movies, i.e. Cabin Fever. Apparently it worked pretty well on the majority of people, given the movie's current rating.) All they did was attempt to exploit stereotypes for cheap laughs. They didn't even pull that off.

Waste of time and money.
