Lack of censorship is a good thing, and adults have every right to see this movie. Don't see it with your teen or those whose tastes are conservative, our mistake, but even without that, just would not have cared for it.

I was told that this was like a Cheech and Chong movie, those were dumb but funny and slightly entertaining. But Cheech and Chong were never this violent. The jokes and drug humor here were funny, and I thought the idea of Dale using various guises in his job as a process server was entertaining. But this was overshadowed by the violence. To me, and for many people violence is just not funny. That cancelled out what might have been humorous. Sometimes violence is needed to tell a story, and in a quality movie, can be acceptable. This is Cheech and Chong crossed with Pulp Fiction, but Pulp Fiction is a far better film. The violence there is surreal and makes a statement just by how casual and yet extreme it is. There are some laughs in that movie, but it does not push "isn't this violence funny" on you. This did, and it became a turn-off that kind of made all of it less funny. I can't see how this earned 8 stars here, perhaps patrons were high when viewing the movie, a good high can make a Green Acres rerun or an infomercial seem like a 10 star comedy - been there.
