A previous commenter said something about that the only thing that works in this movie is Marlon Wayans. I beg to differ and add Wayans to the things that don't work. Because this must be one of the most unfunny "comedies" I've seen in a long while.
The plot is incredibly stupid on many levels, they use plot points that are too embarrassing to use in TV-series for kids. The comedy consists mostly of fart jokes and adjacent categories of such jokes. Am I strange because I don't find these funny? What kind of target audience are they aiming at anyway? Kids? Maybe they would think it is funny, but how much of the romance and all the economy and college stuff will they really understand?
I don't know, Marlon Wayans's face in a close-up while he attempts to make a face to show some indiscernible kind of expression over and over again is not my idea of fun. I'm sorry, but he's no Jim Carrey. Far from it. I can count one (1) time when I actually laughed at a joke when watching this movie. That was a word joke which of course they managed to subtitle wrong, but I still got it. One joke out of 93 minutes. It's good it says comedy on the box otherwise I don't know if I would've grasped that.
People who bash the Austin Powers movies and likes it should really have a look at this one. Trust me, you'd be in for a ride. Especially the first Austin Powers movie is so many lightyears away quality-wise from this unfunny drivel.
