Didn't seem much different from "The Hangover", where you had such esoteric bits as a fat guy in a jock hugging another guy, or a girl breastfeeding in front of strange men, or a naked Asian guy jumping out of a trunk. We're not talking Shakespeare when it comes to comedies, really. (And, in my defense, my wife and I have watched some of the old episodes from the recent Sci-Fi marathon. If I hadn't just seen some, and been reminded of how God-awful cheesy the first one was, I probably would've liked the film less. Also, I work at a theater so I see them for free; I wouldn't recommend "LotL" unless it's a matinee price.)
Don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying "LotL" is a must-see, belly-laugh, best comedy in years. I'm just saying, it's better than people give it credit for.
