Saw this Friday afternoon and enjoyed it, mostly. It suffers from the same problem Office Space seems to have: the desire to have a plot pop up at some point to drive the film. And, as usual, the funniest elements were featured in the trailer.
I really did get a kick out of how obvious the "plot device" characters were: they would literally show up to be like "Well, I heard that the winner of the review gets a big showing at Broadway Bob's" or "Building burned up, all the people died."
I half expected them to be credited as "plot device 1," "plot device 2," etc in the credits.
Anyway- the reason I posted this is to ask: Did anyone get what the hell Ethan Suplee (Vince the hack filmmaker roommate) was talking about when he was suggesting that they "bust some hookers?" I really didn't get the whole thing about going to sleep and they leave you a gift... wtf?
