This movie actually DID live up to all the hype. I was skeptical at first, since I was the last person on earth to see this movie and everyone was talking about how much I would love it. Usually, those kinds of scenarios end in disappointment.
However, there's just something about this movie--and I don't know what it is--that it absolutely hysterical. It's not that unique of a premise, the cast of characters is pretty cookie-cutter, and the funniest scenes are the easiest laughs... but man, is it funny. Does it get any better than naked Ken Jeong leaping out of the trunk? I don't think so.
The quotes abound, the actors make the characters their own, and disaster is just barely thwarted. A solid comedy that just might deserve that sequel their making. I hope they don't screw it up. Something tells me they won't.
