My expectations going into this were exceedingly low... but it ended up being not as bad as I expected. Now, don't get me wrong, there's plenty of gross humor in here that does nooooot land with me. Like, a lot of it. But I expected there to be a higher quantity of it. I'd say the silly-to-gross humor ratio is a solid 2:1, which left plenty for me to enjoy. If the movie had cut the more tasteless (not to mention homophobic and transphobic) jokes, there'd still be plenty of content and it'd have worked just fine for me as a goofy comedy. As it is, it's going to have to sit moderately low, but there's some entertaining bits in here, and I had a surprisingly okay time with it.
