If you like dumb crass comedies, you really can't go wrong with this.
It stays consistent with the vibe from the original movies and has plenty of good laughs.
Ed helms does a good job as the dad. Otherwise, the cast was pretty decent overall, but nothing to rave about. I feel they got a bit lazy in terms of really finding interesting comedic actors and crafting hilarious memorable characters. I think that is part of what will separate this from truly great comedies like the original. The jokes were funny, but the characters were forgettable. Even when they had potential to be memorable, like with the truck driver at the end, instead it's just your average dude.
I will also say that there is a bit of inconsistency in the characters. Like the writers didn't really take the time to figure out who their characters were, but instead were focused on writing stupid jokes. For example, the dad knows what a glory hole is, but has never heard the term rim job?
So I don't think this movie will be remembered as anything remarkable, but its still a great way to pass some time if you want to watch a dumb but very funny comedy.
