Trivia:
When Zach Galifianakis (Alan) makes the joke about him not being allowed near schools or a Chuck E. Cheese, that is a direct reference to one of his staple jokes in his stand up: "When you look like I do, it's hard to get a table for one at Chuck E. Cheese." moreGoofs:
Revealing mistakes: The tiger scratch marks on Phil's neck are too small to have come from a tiger, whose average paw width is 4 1/2 inches. moreSoundtrack:

With the exception of one character (more later in this review), I found this movie filled with male, sophomoric humor. Having said that most of the females in the audience also enjoyed it; kind of an equal opportunity movie to offend all sexes equally.
Unlike most trailers that show all the humor in a 60 second clip, this movie will throw so many funny situations at you so quickly that you will be giggling non-stop for the first hour.
Then, the introduction of the Mr. Chow part - essential for the plot, but played WAY over the top by Ken Jeong - became distracting. Up to that point, Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Justin Bartha, and Zach Galifianakis carried the movie briskly and with real chemistry. Zach Galifianakis, in particular, was brilliant. Who is this guy???! The last 30 minutes were not as good as the first hour and I found the ending somewhat forced.
HOWEVER, everyone I talked with after the movie will be seeing it again. This is one movie that is as funny as advertised.
Of course, I will get flamed by those who find this kind of humor too low brow for their tastes. Hey, just know what you're getting into when you see this.
