The day I rented this film, I rented "Infamous" and the first season of "Weeds". I only rented this film because it looked like one of those stupid joke movies like "Old School" or "Talledaga Nights" that my husband enjoys ... so I figured I'd be killing two birds with one stone: placating my husband's taste in films and getting in a short nap about midway through the movie. Well, I was pleasantly surprised here. Don't get me wrong, this will never be on your top 10 must see list, but it's not a complete write-off. Jon Heder manages to rise above his Napoleon Dynamite persona as an average guy who would be considered a bit namby-pamby by the average he-man male. His job as a "meter maid" isn't exactly putting extra hair on his chest either. And then to make his situation even more desperate, he's also in love with a neighbor who is roommates with the acidic Sarah Silverman. After being rejected for the third time as a Big Brother by a 9 year old, he's given a telephone number to call from a confident David Cross who tells him he, too, was once a reject. Heder calls the number and reaches a Billy Bob Thornton, who immediately berates him to being a loser. Intriged that the class may improve his prospects with his neighbor, Heder follows "Dr. P's" instructions and finds himself in a classroom with other guys in the same predicament. Dr. P (Thornton) and his sidekick, Lesher, portrayed by a menacing Ving Rhanes, begins to school the hapless group in the fine art of being respected by men and women alike. Because Heder does well in the class, he becomes the rival of Thornton and all hell breaks out. I think this is where the movie (and the characters) got interesting. A tennis match between Heder and Thornton generates laughs. There's a cameo at the end of the film by Ben Stiller as a former unsatisfied student of Dr. P's that could have been better - or even left out of the film altogether. Overall, most will find this film a pleasant surprise vs. what the trailer leads you to believe. You could do worse.
