what i expect before watching this movie

from the first minute i saw mat dillon is starring in this comedy i knew i was totally going to watch it and i really hoped i would laugh.

then i saw brendan fraser who is not my first option actor to watch after his not even a bit humorous to me acting in the tagged with comedy movie furry vengeance (2010) in which movie he also was executive producer.

when i saw paul walker i thought i should expect things to get worse if he plays a too cool for human role. i even started to hope that he will be needed only for car scenes in the movie. on the other hand the albanian heritage actor is among the 14 producers of this movie which looks good to me after the fact that his first producing movie attempt was also in 2013 when he was executive producer (between 6 producers) in the not so bad (for first attempt) movie vehicle 19 (2013) then i saw a little more than just every man's fantasy: 20 women play the same role: johnny's girl. with the speed of light i went to see who plays johnny and there was elijah wood whose face looks funny enough to deal with 20 women.

after all these i was ready to watch the result of all the above in the movie itself and now after i watched the movie

paul walker was not expected to be the best comedian and watching him trying to be funny seemed that it wasn't working in the beginning. comedians should act as if everything is normal to become funny but in this movie he tried to exaggerate a lot even by moving his eyeballs strange. all of a sudden after some time he becomes funny in his own way. i started to think that i have to admire that paul walker tries to play a different (comedy) role in this movie and i hope he plays more comedies with hillbilly accent and dirty teeth or not . also his productions have future in the business.

unexpectedly for me brendan fraser really rocks here. he makes an unrecognizable entrance in the movie and he was really funny in every scene i saw him.

unfortunately the most expected appearance (mat dillon) takes place after 30 minutes and with him starts the (black comedy) plot and at least one disturbing scene.

effects are working but music could be better except from what is heard from the big black chevrolet gmc junior monster truck ( which was cool for metal fans (like me) only )

so after what i expected this can't have a less than 7 out of 10 vote from me. if you liked one tarantinolike movie i think you will find this at least watchable. i am almost thinking to watch it again
