Well, what was I expecting? Pretty horrible movie. Jenny McCarthy is hot of course, but she is so "not hot" in a lot of the situations she puts herself in. Carmen Electra is incredibly annoying. I understand it's a comedy that relies on gross-out factor, but most of the situations are so overdone that it just makes you uncomfortable watching them.

This movie is so bad it's embarrassing. After watching this I would have thought jenny mccarthy could never show her face in public again, but good for her no one saw it. I can't recall a worse movie since the gingerdead man, and that was pretty bad. I wondered if gigli was worse but good for me I never saw it. What's crazy is I actually expected more out of this. I don't know, I expected maybe to laugh once? Or even turned on. It's just not funny. On any levels. And it's not sexy. It's actually fairly tame. One scene of nudity? Serious? There's some pretty gross out scenes too. Like in the supermarket buying tampax, that was really bad taste. I guess I thought it would be dirtier as far as sex and nudity and that would have saved the movie. But it didn't. Nothing could save this movie. It was just flat out bad.
Now when she wrote this, who in their right mind reviewed the script and thought, we HAVE A WINNER HERE! That they actually took the time for production and costs and film this. They must have been out of their mind. It's like a 14 year old wrote it. Terrible acting. The directing. WTF? Where are you filming? And carmen electra deserves some of the biggest criticism. I was looking forward to seeing her. When I looked on the back of the DVD and saw her dressed wannabe gangsta I thought maybe that was a joke scene, I didn't think that would be her whole charecter. This has got to be the stupidest piece of crap ever.

This movie is beyond bad. It's not bad in a guilty pleasure way either; it is just plain awful. Jenny Mccarthy wrote and stars in this picture, which, is completely devoid of anything remotely resembling comedy. While it is crass and gross and full of sex and toilet jokes that is not what accounts for the absence of laughs; first off, most of the performers over-act, Ms. McCarthy most of all; the story and characters are poorly drawn and two-dimensional; and most of all, Ms. McCarthy's confidence in her own comedic genius(or lack thereof) is so prevelant, that in every scene she's practically screaming to the audience, "Look at me, I'm funny, really funny." I don't know if having her husband direct her, or not direct in this sense, allows her to run unrestrained, over-playing every scene, squeezing any real laughs from the movie, or just her obvious huge ego. Maybe she's better with other writer's material, though veiwing her other movies sadly proves otherwise. My vote for the most boring, laughless movie ever.

If I could give this a zero, I would. There are lots of close-ups of Jenny McCarthy with over the top facial expressions, Kathy Griffin is really wooden in her cameo, Carmen Electra is embarrassing as white woman trying to be "ghetto", and there is absolutely no plot. Rent this so your only regret would be the wasted 90 minutes and $4.

Ten seconds into this movie I could tell it was going to be really, really bad. I do like Jenny McCarthy; I think she is a very good slapstick actress (read: Lucille Ball). Why does toilet humor have to dominate the scripts these days? The dumbing down of America? Probably so. The actress who played her roomate was sort of good in that Jayne Mansfield/Carol Wayne kind of character. Carmen Electra --- stick to posing in nudie magazines and helping to open new supermarkets. This movie is one of the worst ever. Not as awful as "Soul Plane," but close.

The only reason I watched this movie all the way through is because I got it on pay-per-view, and I wanted to get at least *something* for my money. I should have saved my time - it's absolutely horrible! Jenny McCarthy's acting is over-the-top and annoying. Carmen Electra is kind of funny, but not enough to warrant watching this. Whoever agreed to make it should be ashamed!

This movie is so horrible (thank god it was a free rental and I didn't spend a penny on it). Jenny has never looked worse as an actress. To even call her an "actress" does a disservice to the word. I am not exaggerating when I say that a High School Drama Club making an unscripted home movie with their videocamera would've made a better movie than this one. Jenny and her husband (the director) should never be allowed to appear on film again. If you're curious to see just how bad this movie is and decide to rent it: I would wager my right arm that 99% of you would painfully regret that you actually spent 90 minutes of your time watching this trainwreck.

How did anyone give this five stars? Terrible movie, I want my time back. The writing was terrible, the acting was terrible, the plot was terrible, everything was just...terrible.

I will say that unless you just want to see some poor acting by some shallow modern day hack women, and you dont want to have to pay for this movie, then give it a shot. There is some decent TNA by Jenny McCarthy, but like the other reviews said the acting is deplorable and story line simple and poor. Its best to watch this movie when you are somewhat inebriated in order to enjoy the humor. I was stone sober and got 1 or 2 laughs out of it. I will say the best thing about it was that Kathy Griffen had a very small part in it, as she is just a horrible actress all around.

Jenny McCarthy has long been one of my favorite ladies since I can remember. This woman is drop-dead sexy, funny, laid-back, down-to-earth, very talented, and she does not take a whole lot serious, did I mention sexy as hell? I think I did, Anyway, with all that going for her, I was really looking forward to this. So, ya, it sucked, what a let-down. Save for a few comedic moments, it's rather boring and alot of the jokes are just in poor taste and generally not very funny.

Jenny over-acts big time, I'm thinking she ad-libbed alot of her lines, but since her future x-hubby directed this, he pretty much let her do whatever the hell she wanted to, and that's not a good thing. She hams it up so bad it's almost like you can hear her saying, "everyone look at me, I'm a superstar, it's all about me"
When she tones it down she actually delivers a couple of very funny lines, but unfortunately they are far and few between.

Carmen Electra co-stars, and she had alot of the same things going for her that Jenny does, just not quite as hot. But she is just wrong in this movie, she tries to be all "sister" and we never get a reason why, she's white, the Sum 41 lead singer even tells her this when he is trying to pick her up in a bar. So, again, like Jenny, Carmen over-acts big time.

I mentioned earlier that some of the jokes were in poor taste,and I'll give you an example. Jenny is on her period, and while shopping, she starts to bleed all over the place, of course both bathrooms are occupied so she is running all over the store, leaking everywhere. So, the manager is over-heard on the intercom asking someone for cleanup everytime Jenny has an accident. Really not funny, in fact, it's rather gross. In another scene, Jenny goes to some guys apartment after the date and he puts a fish up his ass asking her to please touch his bass, again, big miss-fire.

I did laugh a few times, mostly during Kam Heskin's scenes, she plays Jenny's ditsy best friend along with Carmen. She is very charming and very cute and hopefully we will get to see more of her in the future. John Asher directs, and I guess right after this he and Jenny filed for divorce, I'm thinking she watched this and couldn't take it. But, to be fair, John shoudn't get all the "credit" for this, Jenny McCarthy wrote and produced and also helped with the screenplay.

Also, to lure us in, this movie gets the "unrated" tag, which is a total joke. I admit, one of the reasons I watched this was hoping for some Jenny and Carmen nudity (sorry, but what do ya expect?) But all we get is a shot of Jenny's breasts covered in puke, sorry, but that's not what I was hoping for. It could have easily been an "R" 'cuz all we get is alot of crude, very crude toilet humor and alot of bad language. Sorry Jenny, I still am a big fan, but ya should have left this one alone!!!!!!
