Funny but not for everyone

Funny movie, but not for everyone, lots of sex and toilet humor, I laughed out loud quite a bit.

First off, I am not a fan of this type of book. Therefore, while my first instincts were to give 2-3 stars, to be fair to the author I made it 4. My low score would be more because of my taste than the quality of the book. It is funny, even I laughed in places and that is not something I would normally do. It is a little bit crude in the manner of a stand up comedian, and again I hate stand up. All that being said, I actually did enjoy the read. I finished it without protest. I can see if you like a tongue in cheek, semi autobiographical novel in which the author laughs at both herself and her friends and family, then you will enjoy it. I tried this amongst some other books my brother, who lives in the US, lent me. Hence the departure from what I would usually buy. I still would not buy it but it certainly beats the dorm room humour of Chuck Palhunik (or however you write his name). That was a step too far for me and I managed only half of one of his and will not be repeating the experience. This is actually the second Handler book I read, the other was a later book when she is living with a producer and living the lifestyle of the rich and famous. I think this one is better.

In summary, if you like the same sort of books as I do, then possibly this is not for you. But if you like "true life" comedy exaggerations, then this would seem to be as good as as any other. As another reviewer says, try the sample. And only buy if you enjoyed that.

This movie is hilarious. It's crude and stereotypical, but if you can get the political references, you'll find it funny all over. The movie is not for everybody though.

This movie has a unique style of humor. It might not be for everyone but I found it entertaining !

This is a really funny movie - especially if you are a Mom - with kids who are any age. The craziness of what can happen when you get many personalities together - makes for a great story.
Movie reviewers said it was like a giant episode of "The Middle". I don't think they actually watched this movie - as Patricia Heaton's character is NOTHING like Frankie Heck. The story is nothing like The Middle, or Everybody Loves Raymond, either. Maybe they were stoned. Or maybe they were mad because there's no sex in this movie - oh and it does have a bit of a Christian message, but not  preachy. This movies was made primarily for Christians, but I think anyone can enjoy it.  My sister did and she's a Buddhist.

It's funny but in a very smart funny kind of way. It seemed like something my son would enjoy but most of the references are way over a 12 year old's head. It would work well for any adult, but just didn't work well for my purposes.

I was stuck between 3 and 4 stars but I'm going with 4 because I did like it. It's definitely not for everyone and I *almost* stopped reading it. But around chapter four or five it had me laughing out loud. I think the book would be easier to stomach if the unnecessary racism was left out. The book was funny but the racist stereotypes weren't amusing at all and it makes it seem like the author tried too hard. But she can definitely write. There are some gross things that made me cringe but if you can get passed that then you'll probably enjoy the book. I believe when writing, you can write however and whatever you please. Some will hate it, some will love it, some will be in between. I wouldn't go as far as calling any author's work "bad" or say I wouldn't recommend something. You can't always go by what you read in reviews because everyone's opinion varies. If it piques your interest, go for it. If you don't like it for yourself you can always put it down.

This is a great album to listen to with certain friends; it's not for everyone. Very inappropriate content, but clever and funny.

I found this to be a bit raunchy but funny. Some might be offended by it. She is a comedian and it was entetaining.

Adults only, I would not let any non-mature adult watch this but it's pretty good. It's funny and serious...but not too serious.

I thought it was fun.  If you are offended by bad language do not watch this.  The F word is used quite a bit, and there's a lot of sexual innuendo.  A short scene with topless females as well.

The comedy was silly and fun.  I bet this movie was fun to make.  The cast made it fun to watch.

Wasn't sure how to rate this because I laughed the whole way through. But it is not the type of book I normally read. I went with three stars since the only way I would recommend it to a friend is if they were specifically looking in this genre for a read. That genre being obsurdity.

Yes, the movie has a lot of crude humor for people who are not very open-minded or they are used to socializing with people who are not very open-minded. For what feels like only an hour of hilarity, I was just amazed at what I was seeing. Yes, Ali G/Bruno/Borat is a social critic on America, and goes on a show for about two hours. The movie makes you laugh as if you are replaying what happened at the MTV award with Eminem for two hours. Eminem himself says he was laughing too, although probably not with Bruno but at Bruno. Yes, I am okay with other people's problems, yet it makes me think if I am very open-minded. Snoop Dogg raps at the end of the movie, which is a bonus.

Not what I expected...but, someone else might find it funny.

After I got this part of the series I had to get Season 2, that is how hilarious it is.  I'm not going to give anything away as far as the plot, but these people have almost an unnatural obsession with white panties.  This is not your typical kids movie so keep it away from them if you get this!  But, otherwise you would have a good time laughing for almost 2 1/2 hours.

Not a movie for the cry baby type.  This can be offensive to some who can't take a joke and have a closed mind to this particular type of comedy.  Personally found this to be very entertaining besides being what it set out to be purposely, extremely FUNNY.

Look, yes, its vulgar.  I think what makes it even funnier is the fact the father is a regarded researcher and yet talks like a truck driver.  I think profanity can be funny - very funny.  Given the title and those that reviewed the book negatively based on vulgarity, you have to wonder if they were just stupid.  The title of the book very clearly reflects the type of language you would expect to find in the book.  I found the quotes funny, I didn't think the writing was horrible or stellar, but it isn't as though Halpern is a novelist.  I noticed many mentioned its obvious he writes for Maxim...really?  I beg to differ.  It has nothing to do with it.  He told his story of his family - like it or not.  I found them funny and I really rather liked his dad.  Kept it real.  Interesting family dynamic and reads like a stand up routine.
