Hilariously funny! A definite watch
For the longest time I passed the movie over because of all of the negative press it continued to receive. However I finally did see it, and it is amazingly funny.

I watched some of the interviews that I could find with the actors and really those who are against the movie really haven't gone to see it.

Yes, there are some parts that some people may find to be a little offensive, but if you can laugh at yourself, or your religion then I think you should see it. It's not like they try to pick on just one group of people.

Really I can't stress enough how much you should see this movie. Don't pass by it any longer. Be ready to laugh really hard.

Quotes

Mrs. Livingston: "Dear Mr. and Ms. Livingston, we have kidnapped your son. Give us $100,000 dollars or he dies. Signed, the Jews." Are you kidding? ARE YOU KIDDING? Who in their right mind is going to believe this note Morton? THEY'RE THE JEWS. THEY'RE GOING TO WANT...

Goofs

In the scene where Bubble Boy is making his escape from home, he rolls down the stairs and bounces into the living room. In this shot you can clearly see another layer of the clear bubble material encasing/suspending him for protection during the stunt. In the very next shot, this layer is gone and the bubble moves freely around him.
