sydney’s review published on Letterboxd:
The same way BAD BOYS II took the concept of 'cinema', stuck it in a flaming car and shot it with machine guns, Tim & Eric have taken film and dumped raw sewage all over it. I loved it of course, but to apply a rating would mean it exists in some quantifiable universe where things can be compared to one another. It would be easy to call these guys idiots, but just as easy to call them geniuses. Easy to call their humor juvenile, easy to call it an incredible and layered social commentary. God only knows what motivates them to cut back and forth between a man in a bathtub full of shit and one of the most awkward sex scenes of all time, but how many people can say that they'd subject themselves to that level of humiliation for the sake of entertainment? Is their goal to make us laugh, or to look at ourselves in disgust? Its funny with Herzog levels of nihilism. The insane attention to detail makes me believe that they're smarter than they want to appear. Maybe I'm giving it too much credit, but love or hate it - this is a force to be reckoned with, a power to be respected. Either way I fucking love those cable access commercial style segments.
