I rented this movie with my girlfriend because we just wanted to watch a no-brainer comedy. Was I amazed to find that you really need to have no brains to actually like this movie. It starts off with an incredibly long intro, names rolling and showing the bling-bling smiley heads of the two main characters all the time. I guess the reason they showed the names before the movie started and not afterward, is because the makers knew that people would leave the theater before the movie was over.
OK the movie starts. We see how amazingly stupid the two brothers are. But not in a Dumb and Dumber kind of way. No, these guys are just really, really, unbelievably stupid. They mess up the jokes by their plain looks and when there's room for a great joke, the makers totally mess it up by massively overdo it. (See the plane-banner joke...) There was one moment I started to smile and that was when this rotten tomato of a movie was finally over! How anyone can rate this movie higher than 2 stars is a mystery to me.
