Dennis Dugan has made some very funny movies in the past with Adam Sandler including the masterpiece Happy Gilmore and the box-office hit Big Daddy. Now comes a project that he gives good comic direction in a story that has many, many laughs.

Here, Jason Biggs plays a guy who has always had one true love (Amanda Detmer) but then gets dragged in (in more ways than one) into a new relationship with a hottie who might be all of what she seems (Amanda Peet is kinda scary but still sexy). But this is messing up a long lasting friendship between him and his two buddies (played to utter comic perfection by Jack Black and Steve Zahn), and then the fun begins. With jokes ranging from a gay relationship with Neil Diamond to a weird coach and many other things, this film is worth a look, and then some. The script has many funny parts, however it is in fact Black (who proved his unailable worth in High Fidelity and gives a good show here), Zahn (as a tough guy pest control man) and R. Lee Ermey (who brings a mix of his Full Metal Jacket guy and himself) who bring this film to the recommendability.
