The three main actors work wonders together, but none are better than Zack Galifinakis. He holds the show most of the movie and makes it hard to look away. And he’s hilarious.

Bradley Cooper does his all and holds the line as the point man of the group, and he’s not a douche, for once in these movies. He’s finally a leading man. And that’s fantastic for him.

Ed Helms, again, plays a stick in the mud who gets wound up and wound down as the film progresses, and he gets to get funnier and funnier as things move on. And that’s a good thing for him.

And Zack is the fat Jesus. Hilarious and completely bizarre, it’s nice to see him in a film that people actually go and see, as opposed to Bubble Boy, Out Cold, or Below. This movie was number one in America two weeks straight, and it had no one recognizable as a main actor.

Not a perfect movie, but funny and endearing and hilarious when it needs to be. Carlos and Mike Tyson steal the show in the scenes they appear in, especially with Carlos at the breakfast table. Zack Galifinakis is a dream in this movie, and the main cast just completely makes the movie a loving send-up of the old 80s comedies like Stripes or Caddyshack or Animal House.

We’re finally back to R-rated comedies the way they were meant. And we don’t have to suffer through the antics of Adam Sandler or Seth Rogen to get there.
