... and this really isn't bad at all. This is not intellectual humor, this is paintball to the nuts humor. If you like that, AND I do, then this show brings the funny. Not much else to say. They shoot for low-brow humor and they hit it. In the nuts. With a paintball. It's worth watching every 5 - 10 years.

By this time we all knew Jon Heder from his famed performance in Napoleon Dynamite. Now when this came out it put Heder in a whole new perspective because of the romance edge to this movie. I think that a lot of people did not like this movie, but it is a little underrated in my book. It does deliver the laughs more than once and you will find yourself mildly entertained once again by the writing of Todd Philips and Scot Armstrong. This was actually a very decent comedy with that romance factor added in as well. Jon Heder shows great on screen chemistry with Billy Bob Thornton as they both one-up each other to win over this girl. A very outrageous comedy that is worth seeing at least once.8/10

Ring! ring! Operator: "1-800-4LOSERS, how may I help you?" Producer: I'm doing a movie and I need a few losers for the film.Operator: You've called the right place. What type of losers are you looking for? Producer: I don't know, who do you have?Operator: Well, we have a few available. We have Dan Fogler, star of "Balls of Fury". We have David Cross who has played a loser in too many movies to count. And... Oh yeah! We have America's hottest loser right now: Jon Heder, the guy from Napolean Dynamite, The Benchwarmers, and Blades of Glory.Producer: Great, I'll take them all.And so goes the movie. Revenge of the nerds without being as funny nor as compelling.

and great as ever. Billy Bob plays Dr. P, a teacher for losers with low self esteem. Roger is a new student, played by the funny Jon Herder. He wants to stop being pushed around and to get a girl, Amanda. We get several funny scenes of Dr. P asking his students to be more confrontational. At the paint ball game, Roger proves to be learning quickly, which causes Dr. P to want to one up him. So, Dr. P makes a play for Amanda. He says he is a doctor and sweet talks her all the while infuriating Roger. He even convinces Amanda that Roger needs mental help. But in the end Roger uses the help of friends to get back at Dr. P. He almost gets tricked again but remembers one of Dr. P's number one rules. Lie, Lie, Lie. Ben Stiller makes a cameo as one of Dr. P's former students who was traumatized by him. He wants revenge.FINAL VERDICT: Quite a few funny scenes. Worth watching.
