| I can't remember the last time I cringed so often
I usually (and quite easily) hand out 8, 9 or 10 stars to a film. In fact, the majority of movies I watch receive good-to-excellent scores from me. This one however, does not.

The jokes often feel exaggerated and forced, and are embarrassingly childish with far too much profanity. I can't remember the last time I cringed so often. Sure, there was the occasional joke which received a giggle from just about everyone, but the majority of the humour was replied to with silence and head-shaking. It seriously felt like it was a movie thrown together quickly to make a decent enough trailer to lure an audience. So, don't fall for it. You've been warned.

3.4 / 10

Trivia

As Ned Fleming scrolls through Laird's online photos, he mutters "Of course, Mr Playboy. Unbelievable! Who's that? She's a bit of a plain-Jane". It's a picture of Kristen Stewart.

Quotes

Laird Mayhew: Motherfucking *Flemings* are in the house! YES!
Ned Fleming: Oh, my God.

Goofs

During the Xmas party at the end, when KISS is singing 'The First Noel', it looks like Gene Simmons doesn't really know the lyrics very well. His mouth appears to be singing different words to everyone else.

Crazy Credits

There is a scene with Gustav after the first credits.
