well you need to watch it. It's not the best comedy of all time, but for a movie that many have never even heard of it's a gem. And similar to freaks and geeks, you'll watch it and be like "oh I know him. I know her. I've seen him. Oh yeah he's familiar. etc etc"

Tons of folks who went on to other bigger roles.

It's weird but good. Really had a Michael Ian Black feel to it.

It's up there for me. I giggle my arse off at it. There are things that I have to be in the mood to really find funny, so I may not laugh one time, but I'll laugh the next time I watch it. I've had many a pot head friend ask to borrow my DVD .

It's not the same humor, but the same result as Monty Python movies to me. I know it's dumb, but I laugh.



Henry: So, do you work here?

Beth: Yeah, I'm the Camp Director. You?

Henry: Me, no, I don't work here.

Beth: No, yeah, I'm the camp director... I would know if you worked here.

Henry: Oh, right.

I started watching episode one but realIxed it's been forever since I've seen the movie, so I'm Now watching that instead.

I loved the intro with everyone 15 years older.

What the hell? It says title will appear in list when it becomes available despite it saying you can watch on 7/31.

Enjoyed the movie, but the show is not doing anything for me.

Rewatched the movie earlier this week and just finished all eight episodes.

To me, it was perfection. I can't wait to rewatch and pick up on more things.

I will say that if you didn't love the movie, this won't be your jam. But fans of the movie should be pleased and I highly recommend rewatching the movie first if you haven't seen it in a while.


Spoilers below


Victor's prank call to Gene about dick farts

The way Gene was running after Victor with that psycho skipping made my life.

Abby's transformation was hilarious

Michael Cera's too big suit and when he would talk back to the big shot attorney was awesome. "You could buy a whole lotta shaving cream with that. Shave off that little mustache."

H. Jon Benjamin is everything.

There's so much more. This is like Arrested Development for me. I'll rewatch over and over until I have it all practically memorized.

I've only seen the first as of now. Plan to watch a few more this afternoon.

So this is a prequel...is this season supposed to be the summer prior to when the movie came out?
