This is another one of those movies I rented after I saw "School of Rock" and discovered Jack Black is an amazing comic talent. This is a funny movie, and of course the presence of Black makes it even funnier. Movies don't all need to have some deep meaning in order to be good and this one's just plain funny and absurd. Almost every character in the film is lovable in his or her own right. It has it's moments of gross humor but it is mild in comparison to, let's say, the "American Pie" movies. It also stars John Lithgow, Catherine O'Hara and has some cameos from other famous people. Colin Hanks and Schuyler Fisk make a cute couple and there are many funny surprises. Not for the whole family although I suppose teenagers will enjoy it.
