Well, the summary says it all. When the Jerky Boys got popular in the early-mid 90's, we could see "spoof flick" written subliminally all over their CD covers. Personally, I find the Jerky Boys crude and off-color humor to be pretty good, when unleashed on unsuspecting businesses and John Doe's at home. And it's rumored that they get releases from these people before a bit makes it to a CD, so that makes it somewhat acceptable. These guys are like Alan Funt in the 90's.
However, this movie, while containing stupid hi-jinks and some of the prank calls along the lines of those found on the CD, just isn't funny. It's not even "so stupid it's funny" funny! Frankly, it's a bore. The plot is terrible, and often non-existent, there are certain comedy sections in the movie that contribute nothing to the non-existent plot and probably shouldn't be there, and Kamal adds absolutely nothing. (In my opinion, he doesn't add anything on the CD's, either. Kissel doesn't even hold a flame to Sol OR Jack Tors!)
Overall, don't bother. Only if you are a rabid Jerky Boys fan, own all the CD's, or consider yourself a phony-phone caller needing some pretty poor material, should you rent this movie. Heck, the funniest part of the whole film is the prank call to President Clinton at the end! (In case you were wondering, my final rating is based half on this particular prank call... the rest of the movie, frankly, doesn't deserve to be rated.)
My Rating: 5/5
