score: 3
2004, 103 min
There are a couple genuinely clever bits in this slasher parody. There are also a disappointingly generic ending and a nagging feeling throughout that this isn't as funny as Super Troopers. In fact, this isn't quite as a lot of things as Super Troopers. But, this is more one thing than Super Troopers: nude. That's right, while not as much so as Eurotrip, this movie is pretty naked.
These guys are clearly better actors than most of their idiot-comedy compatriots, but really that just means they're each a different charicature every film (rather than the same one, you see). And Bill Paxton is pretty funny as a Jimmy Buffet knock-off.
So, there are two really good jokes in the movie. But what's the bottom line? At least it's not Adam Sandler.
