A good comedy which most people I'm sure could relate to (unless they're the "Mr Woodcock" themselves)
type of person.
I still at my age find those sort of people very intimidating and remember my earlier years of one in particular, a boss, so I say, well worth watching...

Good movie. Sean William Scott, was funny as ever. Not what I expected, some good slap stick comedy. It was a bit of a let down, considering the actors present in the movie. But it is something to keep you entertained.

Funny at times. Boring at another.

I love the acting of Sean William Scott...so i was bound to like this. It was ok, not fantastic but watchable. Good flick for the weekend.

Well I disagree - true there were some funny moments, but I think that Billy Bob played the character too nastily. I felt more sorry for the kids that he tormented than I should have for it to be as funny as it could have been. The fact that I felt sympathetic to his "victims", ruined it for me.

Not a highly engaging or side splitting comedy but certainly some good slap stick moments that sneak up on you.
Well rounded plot and strong characters with believable directing and production.
