It has its moments of crazy fun, but theres a limit to how long all the heavy handed satire can be entertaining.

Unsentimental, non glamorized, and unclouded by the usual overlay of rose colored nostalgia, this is a raw but rewarding motion picture.

But it soars above the plebian rudeness of DUMB AND DUMBER by virtue of a few moments of excoriating brilliance.
