I'm going to have to disagree with my friend and colleague JB, and Philadelphia's delightful Bjam on this matter. TN is mostly pretty unfunny, with a few sorta funny bits. It feels really unsure of itself, comedy-wise, much like the execrable Kicking and Screaming, but considerably less of an unholy abomination. It completely wastes Andy Richter and David Koechner, in favor of John C. Reilly, who is to "funny" what Al Pacino is to "subtle." I love funny product placement, but the Applebees stuff isn't weird or funny enough. It seems like they got cold feet with such a ubiquitous brand, and tried to have it both ways. C-
Aren't you the guy that hit me in the eye?

I have now seen it 5 times on airplanes (OK, often while doing other stuff, but I swear I won't forget to bring my own DVDs again!). And I'm sorry, it's funny. And Stupid. But funny. The bit about Crêpes...Sacha Baron Cohen cracks me up.

Saw it at a drive-in, thought it was great. The dumb kind of funny, but I mean, I actually thought it would be aggravating like "Wedding Crashers" or "White Girls" or "Dude Where's My Car". Instead, I laughed a lot and was generally pleased. I'll probably never see it again.
Did anyone ever see "Rat Race"? Had John Lovitz in it? Same kind of movie.
