Everyone involved seemed to have a great time making it, although they often failed to get through a whole take without breaking up, which apparently happened quite often. Ironically, Macfadyen, the sad faced straight man, is most frequently the one who breaks up.
Absolutely great cast. I don't underdtand why Tudyck and Macfadyen aren't more famous.
Nice to have an adult comedy for a change that is actually FUNNY. This movie was one of my favorites last year and the absolute best time I had in a movie theater in 2007.
