First thing is first, and if you've seen this movie already you'll know it's pretty obvious: this is not a film to be taken seriously. At all. It's sick, yes. But if you view it as it's intended, a blacker-than-the-blackest-coffee-ever-made black comedy, it's absolutely hilarious. The outrageous events that occur within minutes quickly let you know that this is one movie aimed squarely at those with a sick sense of humor and who can see that Peter Berg (the writer/director) has his tongue firmly in his cheek the whole time. Sit back, forget absolutely all your morals and ethics, and you'll laugh like a baby.
With a less talented cast, the group of friends at the movie's center might have ended up being really unlikeable, but the brilliant acting of Slater, Favreau and the other guys really gets you rooting for them. Well, that's before it all gets so ridiculous that you're left gaping in astonishment. And, like I said, laughing like a baby. Terrific fun.
