The movie had its moments, but it wasn't anything special. Kept me occupied for an hour and a half on a plane ride, and I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't watch it again.

First time you see it, it's wild if you recognize all the actors from the other stuff they've done but yeah, it's not a classic to most of the world. When is this starting on Netflix? Have to check it out anyway.

So weird to me that none of you like the movie. I think it's a classic of the spoof genre. Easily the best one since the Zucker Brothers heyday. I could watch that movie a hundred times and it'd never get old!

I never said that, I own it and have watched it many many times. I am a big fan of Christopher Meloni and lot of Paul Rudd's stuff too so I love it. Meloni's parts are wild. It is a cult classic for me, just like UHF or Shakes The Clown but I can see why it wouldn't do much for most people and why it is not a "real" classic movie. But no, I watch it every summer at some point! Love it. :bigups:

Read a review in today's newspaper. The reviewer named a bunch of the guest stars, but didn't say anything about Al. But he did say that he hadn't seen the last two episodes yet, so I'm guessing Al's cameo is in one of those.

Watching first episode now, Paul Rudd already has me laughing, this is definitely going to be a hilarious series. Noticing many actors I didn't even know would be included, so this will be cool.

I have Hola installed, so I'm not sure if the Netflix exclusive in also Canadian...
But I just finished watching it! It might be 6am (meaning I started around 2...) but it was fantastic. I should probably watch the actual movie, too, to see how everything ends up.
The ONLY thing I HATED what that one kid who has the worst potty mouth I've ever heard. I literally wanted to punch him in the gut. So annoying.

The entire series was great, you should watch all of it. But if you just wanna see Al, episode 4 is where he plays his part!

That's strange, because a character literally says he was there. She was listing off people who were at camp and says he was there. Maybe the reviewer doesn't like Al; The nerve!

Meh, I don't really watch Netflix.
I think it would be crap anyways, but I don't get to see the shows Al's in because they don't air in my area (We have WOY and I love that show, hopefully I'll be able to see him in it. Aquabats also airs on CITV so I might have an opportunity)
aaaa
