I remember hearing about this movie some years ago and wanting to see it. It wasn't the type of movie that I'd probably would've gone out of my way to buy, there was a period there between 2006-08 where I bought a ton of DVDs and even then I probably wouldn't have bought this movie. Anyway, thanks to Amazon Prime I was finally able to watch this movie. And, honestly, I gotta say I'm a little disappointed. Don't get me wrong, I love the film's parodying tone of martial arts instructors and even those super cheap 90s martial arts movie that you'd see on TV, like the sequels to Cyborg or Bloodsport. So that is appreciated. But, realistically speaking, this isn't a good movie. I really like Danny McBride, in fact, I think he's supremely underrated in some respects, though Eastbound and Down did him a lot of favors, but I think this guy is perfection personified at these roles where he's a major dick to everyone. His persona is the type that would make fun of someone in a wheelchair without even thinking or hesitating about it. This film sees some of that, but it's more toned down. Really, his character is more delusional, as he fashions himself an incredible teacher and he assumes that the new, pretty girl that signs up at his school has some sort of romantic interest in him (she doesn't), and he goes after her in one of the film's funniest scenes when he finds out his wife has cheated on him. But, much like Napoleon Dynamite, this film was picked up hoping it would have replicated that Napoleon's success, this has to be one of those acquired tastes. Though this isn't nearly the extreme that Napoleon Dynamite is, where people either loved it or hated it. Danny McBride is real good in this film, and he's a surprisingly likable character that you actually somewhat root for in the end. It took me off guard because, like I said, Danny has made his bread and butter in playing utterly detestable, yet hilarious, characters. So it's a bit of a change of pace seeing him play someone that you actually like. But the fact of the matter is that the film feels more like a series of skits barely held together by a plot thread. And not all of the skits are hits, if we're being honest. And the ones that do aren't really that hilarious. There's little plot threads here and there, like Henry struggling with self-confidence, Fred's wife cheating on her and Fred's obsession with his hero, Chuck 'The Truck' Wallace (a movie star from one of those cheap direct-to-video martial arts films). Inevitably, Chuck and Frank's wife meet and you know what happens, but it's not like the film was really leading to that. It's something they just stumble upon. And that's fine, I think it's a pretty cool idea to have Fred confront his hero for being a piece of shit, but that doesn't really constitute much of an actual narrative. This is really average at best, it's never bad at any point, but considering the people involved and considering what they went on to do, this includes Jody Hill, then you would have expected something much better. It's not bad, not nearly close to that, but I came out of it a little disappointed. There's a couple of bright spots here and there, but there's not enough of this movie that's good. I wouldn't recommend it, but I'm sure there's others that will absolutely love this and that's totally fine as well. Average at best.
