If I were stuck on a deserted island with nothing but this movie, a dvd player and a tv, I'd bludgeon myself unconscious with the case to keep from watching it again.

"Thus" (points laser at screen) "Baby Got Back' alludes to the innate desire in man to attain the unattainable. A threshold of man's creative powers, seeking always the potentiality." (Next slide.) "You're Too Big to Fit in Here' represents the same allusion, but embraces the destructive power - women destroying men's creative aspect by assimilating it - yet it also features a sapphic car gag for male laughs and gaze, negating any subversive potential" (Receives PhD).

GOD AWFUL, end of story. Imagine your standard piece of cr-p raunchy "comedy" failing 2 mimic the Farrelly Bros' more memorable comedies. But forego any genuine emotion & imagine an entire script written by the "writers" 4 the presenters on the MTV VMA's. Imagine dumber Sandler but replace his take-it-or-leave-it sensibilities w/ female writers & performers out 2 to prove they can be as crude & crass as men are. Imagine Bridesmaids trying 2 make EVERY scene the diarrhea scene. That's this movie.

So stupid, but not even funnily so. It is just Cameron Diaz at her worst, flailing around trying to be funny, and not succeeding.

Pretty shitty. Some people tell me that this film doesn't have to be good as long as its funny. Well this film isn't funny either. It's more or less offensive that someone could imagine these ditsy, irresponsible, mean-spirited and inconcievably dumb girls could make good protagonists. Even more offensive is the innane plot and completely awkward an unfunny direction. Shit.

This is what happens when you let third wave feminism happen.

The jokes are really unfunny and awkward. Obviously someone thought sophomoric sex jokes involving attractive female leads with decent to mediocre comic talent would lead to hilarity. Someone thought wrong.

One of the worst pieces of shit I have ever witnessed. It gets a 10 instead of a zero because the cute girls distracted me from its teribbleness for approximately that many seconds.

The "Penis Size" musical number is literally the most insane, literally non-sequiter moment in the last ten years of cinema.

The best part was Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate in their underwear.

I don't remember a lot about this, other than that painfully long musical sequence about penises. That means that most of the movie was forgettable and the remainder was downright embarrassing.

You can tell it's an American movie because it's full of puerile sex jokes, but nobody so much as takes their bra off. And it's a pity because there's nothing else here.

Horrible, horrible movie. The acting is repulsive, the story line is incredible stupid, and the whole thing was just wretched. I cant believe I sat through the entire thing, one of the biggests wastes of my time EVER!

It's so stupid it's hard to put it in words. It's embarrasing, hardly funny and also boring. Like most raunchy comedies, just a bit more awfully done.

Ugly, joyless, colossal misfire is also clumsy and ungainly on a craftsmanship level – like an explosion of ideas at the comedy factory that were never properly scrutinised or thought through, we have bizarro musical numbers interspersed with awkward, vile “raunch” humour, shoehorned into a skeletal plot that seems purely designed to get us from one gross-out gag to the next. No sense of comic timing or thought to be found here. Pretty desperate – Diaz, Applegate & Blair deserve so much better.
