Three reasons.
1) It is not the story of legendary pro wrestler Shawn Michaels.
- It would have been groundbreaking work. Boy meets drugs, boy loses drugs, boy finds drugs again. And he would have found Jesus too! Come on. Kirk Cameron would have been perfect for the role as well.
2) I have grown weary of the Farrelly brothers style.
- It’s a lovable loser whom has an opportunity to find the brass ring, and they have a Homeric odyssey through peril and hijinx to get there. That’s it. That’s their style. And they do not deviate. It’s the Adam Sandler career path without even a hint of balls.
3) The Farrelly Brothers cannot cast well.
- They had some movies that were close. Just achingly short from being comedy classics. I mean, Randy Quaid’s performance in Kingpin was career killing. Renee Zellweger, for whatever talent she has, does not play the broad farce well either. And while I do not think the relative unknown female lead will disappoint, they cast Carlos Mencia and Ben Stiller.
- Mencia’s never been funny. (Text impression. Mexicans is beaners! *Bugs eyes out* DE DE DE!) Stiller can only do the same sort of character over and over. (A.K.A. Loser whom is going to get his shit rocked A.K.A. Vapid doofus)
Yeah, I know it’ll make 20 some million dollars. Yeah, I know everybody’s going to say Malin Ackerman shines as the evil wife. Yeah. The reviews will be horrible.
In fact, I’ll score mine right now. 4…out of 10.
