The problem with this film was half conceptual too, since Taj was only funny in Van Wilder in the limited doses we got. The writing and directing were so uninspired that it was actually painful to watch this movie. Every other joke was corny, unfunny, and otherwise dull. The only redeeming scenes are those featuring Taj's parents, who are in the film for less than 10 minutes and managed to pull my rating from a 1 to a 2.
