I dont know how it could be overrated since I never heard about it until it basically was out a while on video. Never heard about it or much less thought about seeing it in the movies. It didnt come out with a lot of hype like Blades of Glory for example.
The first time I saw it (on video) I almost couldnt stand it. There were some funny parts here and there. Now that I have seen it several more times, there are so many damn funny parts that I somehow either missed or wasnt paying enough attention to.
If you are looking for a movie with a plot. This isnt it. As far as funny parts goes, this has as many as just about any other movie you will see.
Uncle Rico selling tuppaware is hilarious. Uncle Rico reliving his high school sporting days, fuckin video taping himself throw a football, fake handing off, and doing spins and shit had me crying the first time I saw it. Kip's character is hilarious.
Uncle Rico going to the store and buying about 6 four packs of toilet paper and a plunger, telling Napolean we cant afford the "Fun Pack" of chips, all this right in front of the hot high school girls is hilarious.
This movie is one of the more underrated movies out there.
I agree Borat was good. I liked Wedding Crashers. There arent many just outright funny movies but this is one.
