Anyone happen to see this flick? I've never seen the original show, but was intrigued by the promise of Sedaris and Colbert going nuts on the big-screen, and I was not disappointed. Probably the funniest movie I've seen since 40-Year-Old Virgin.
Scene: Mark DeRosa's brain. The year is 2005. Part of Mark DeRosa's brain: Come on, another position change? One day it's second base, the next day right field, now it's third? Why, I oughta go into Buck's office and throw his talking fish on the floor! Other part of Mark DeRosa's brain: Hold on, other part of the brain. We're making $500,000 this year. Last year we made $725,000. All for playing a damn kids' game. This is, as they say in Brainland, a no-"us"-er. We're not going to complain. Part of Mark DeRosa's brain: You're right, dude. Let's go back to looking at this crazy porn Teixeira gave us!
Slow start, strong middle, slow end. It probably doesn't justify it's running time. I'd highly reccommend checking out the show if you liked the movie, it's even funnier.
Fuck Jay Mariotti. He was a complete hack (back when he was an actual writer). All of these former sportswriters who leave actual journalism to move into the world of blogging end up complete jokes.
