However, I laughed to the point I was literally in pain. A lot of pain. Especially during "the restaurant scene". Even after the movie I was still giddy, and I started laughing hysterically in the parking lot of the movie theater. An aftershock I guess?
If you're looking for a good laugh you should go see it. If you're looking for a strong plot, save your time and money.
