Negative Positive
Title: 90-Minute Saturday Night Live Skit Works
Review: This film is so stupid it's funny and it knows that it's stupid and wants to be stupid. It actually goes out of its way to be over-the-top stupid, complete with a gym owner (Ben Stiller), so overwrought by a secret eating disorder, he massages pizza while surfing the Internet in his private moments of "gastroporn." He's determined to take over a smaller "loser" gym, Average Joes, run by Vince Vaughan. This comedy is a good-hearted fable about the average guy respecting himself and maintaining his integrity in the face of a culture rendered grotesque by its extreme vanity and naricissism, the embodiment of which is seen in the Ben Stiller character. I don't mean to over-intellectualize the film; I simply mean to say that the film, for all its silliness and over-the-top humor, is about something.
Is the review positive or negative?
