Entertaining comedy full of classic moments. I’m not a lunatic fan but I always enjoy it when it’s on tv, particularly some of the more outlandish stuff (I loved the orgy with the midget), and the trio of Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson and Will Ferrell are in strong form (what, no Vince Vaughan?).
Apparently they thought this would clean up at the box office in the wake of September 11 but audiences didn’t embrace it, preferring instead the more realistic Black Hawk Down (showing that in times of turmoil people don’t always want pure escapism). But it’s cult has continued to grow ever since. Apparently some male models get upset by the fact this film perpetuates the stereotype of them being dumb – like, who cares?
