Bad, bad, I mean real BAD movie!!!

This movie was such a waste of time and money. I could have given the 10 bucks to a homeless person and would have gotten more satisfaction. It is boring, makes no sense and it is really stupid and not funny at all. I wish I would have read comments before going thru that horrible experience. I went to see this movie expecting to laugh and have a good time based on the other movies this guy has done but since the very start it was leading nowhere, some people walked out, I figured I would stay because I had already paid for the ticket. I was sending texts to friends, family, my dog, my friend's dogs, even the iguana next door got a text from me, I was so bored!! I was also reading emails, even reading the news while this disaster of a movie went on and on. I think I would much rather had visited my dentist, it wouldn't have been so painful.
