    Actually, it's painfully unfunny.

      It's gained a cult following precisely because it set out to offend most people and to appeal to those with a dark sense of humor. I actually love reading on these message boards how horrified and offended people were over this movie. It tells me it accomplished what it set out to do.
      Every character in this movie is a office-working dullard suburbanite living in an ugly housing estate and all wanting to live the typical BS American lifestyle. Everything goes horribly wrong for them at every turn in this movie and that's why it's so hilarious and pleasing to people like me.
      The average person probably wanted to see the boys have a fun bachelor party and for Cameron Diaz to have the wedding of her dreams. That would've been the typical narrative but every expectation is subverted. It's brilliant.

        The only thing about it that offends me is its unfunniness.

            Masterful commentary about a movie you've only seen one scene of. Hey, I only saw the word-filled opening of Star Wars - what a boring beep movie.

              Loved The Rundown, one of my fav with The Rock.
              People who don't like their beliefs being laughed at shouldn't have such funny beliefs

                I still enjoy this movie, but I remember thinking it was a masterpiece on the first viewing.

                    I've always liked it and have been surprised by critics negative responses to it. Maybe it goes to darker places than some people can handle

                      Only a rusty tool would form an opinion on once scene. If you can't find the humor in this brilliant movie, you aren't one to be invited to many things, that's for sure. This is definitely a genius, well acted, well written $&#* show!
                      It's The Hangover on a ( bad ) acid trip.
