This debut for helmer and vid vet Dewey Nicks and scribe David H. Steinberg, a feverishly naughty revenge comedy, is awful and subversively spunky at the same time.

It's several good jokes, a whole lot of character development and some skilled direction away from crossing the line from moronic to crudely inspired.

If it's unlikely to stimulate the brain cells, it will almost certainly make you laugh out loud.

This may be a vaguely gratifying rent someday if you are intrigued with Schwartzman's early movies. He'll surely be around for a while.

You really have to wonder how on earth anyone, anywhere could have thought they'd make audiences guffaw with a script as utterly diabolical as this.

Isn't it a pity when the best words a film critic can say about a movie are 'not an absolute bomb'?

It's elevated into watchability thanks to the presence of Jason Schwartzman and some inspired off-the-wall moments amongst the smutty gags.

Its effect could appeal only to hardcore masochists: you pay it $9.50 and it spends the next two-hours laughing at how dumb you are.

Going with this title is about as original as calling the movie Animal Houses.
