I'm not familiar with the many many shows of Tim & Eric, I'd been told they were an acquired taste and weren't for everyone. The last time I was told this was about the television series Flight of the Conchords (2007) and I absolutely despised it.
I went in open minded but expecting the worst, in fact part of me wanted to dislike it. Sadly I couldn't, yes a large percentage of it is childish and purile but for every bad joke there is a really quite good one.
Tim & Eric do a decent enough job here and are flanked by a great cast including plenty of cameos.
From Jeff Goldblum to Erica Durance, Robert Loggia, William Atherton, Michael Gross, Twink Caplan, Ray Wise, Will Ferrell, Will Forte, Zach Galifianakis and John C. Reilly. This by itself was very impressive, my attention was grabbed.
Again a lot of it is the most childish level of humour but it's saved by some great gags and I have a feeling this will linger in my mind for a while for both good and bad reasons.
If you like random, bizzare comedies then this might be right up your street but be aware this pushes the boundaries in places and isn't for the faint of heart.
Passable stuff.
The Good:
Some really funny stuff
Great cast
I loved the plot
The Bad:
Some of the humour is pathetic
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
If my sex life ever devolves into that I'm moving to Yemen
These new health fads are getting out of control
If people always exploded from gun fire movies would be so much better
