Goofs:

Factual errors: The slot machine that pays out the 3 Million Dollars is a progressive slot machine. The viewer can see by the payout chart on the machine they are playing that one quarter with a max pay out hit would only pay 1000 quarters. It would take two quarters to hit the progressive jackpot of three million dollars.

Quotes:

Jack Fuller: Richard Banger? So your name is Dick Banger! Dick Banger!
Banger: And yours is Jack? Jack off! Jack off

The best comedy to come out in a long long time

I was going to give this one a miss. Though i read what critics have to say, i never make a choice based on what they do say - for they are Critics after all.

It was IMDb that actually got me to consider that this movie was not worthy to watch. I used to look at ratings at Movies.Yahoo but now i rely on what IMDb has to say, and when i saw the 5.0/10 rating, i was like; Wow! this must not be that good then.

However, when i had no other options, i decided that i'd give this a go. And boy am i glad that i watched it. It is the best comedy to come out in a really long time, and i mean that 100%. It was fast - comedies loose their charm when they tend to go slow on you - quick in getting to the main story instead of lagging us on and on, and surprisingly the Vegas section was pretty small which was actually a Plus point! The acting was superb, some of the scenes were just hilarious, and others were great. The ending was expected, but then for such movies it is...

All i can say is that it was after a really long time that i watched most of the movie again and again (yes twice) right after i had completed it.

In short... if you want to have a great time and some good laughs then give this a go. You won't be disappointed. Don't sit down as a critic, but sit down as someone expecting to be entertained.
