Do you like dick jokes? How about just dick joke? I do. I don't know why I watched this, but I did, and it's much funnier than it has any right to be. Its best moments are either gross-outs or slapstick, which ... if I'm honest that's mostly what I find funny.

Agree. This was a movie my daughter picked out and we both enjoyed it. It was very silly, really has no redeeming qualities but it made us both laugh... not for young teens but adults and older kids will get a kick out of it.

It's surprisingly unmean for a film about dick jokes. The friends love and support each other, there's genuine friendship and respect and awareness that sex is fraught for both genders, and happy endings ahahaha. My son watched it and I kept stopping to cackle over his shoulder until I gave up and watched the whole thing again.

Yes, this was definitely far better than it had any right to be.

Yeah I randomly watched it and was very surprised by how not terrible it was. I'm not sure that it was good, but my expectations were pretty much nonexistent, which probably helped.

Also, I do like dick jokes.

This question answers that old question: What kind of idiot pees with a knife in his hands?

Also, the great thing about this movie is it is not bogged down with HIPA forms, and the doctors are totally good with just sewing a found penis on a guy without checking his insurance, and / or that it is his penis / whether they have a compatible blood type.
