bought this movie straight after viewing this one on a late night cable network over the weekend. i wasn't expecting too much out of this one but was pleasantly surprised by how much i enjoyed it. i immediately recognized Shirley Jones from the partridge family and the actress who portrays Raymond's mother on everybody loves Raymond. i thought the scene where the three women are watching all the different network programs ie. food network, antiques roadshow afer they had drunk tea made from the marijuana leaves were great. it's nice to see actresses at their age being open minded and having fun with the movie's subject matter of pot-smoking, masturbation, sex and video gaming. but i thought that Shirley Jones icky induced romance with nick swarsdon took the cake. they stole all the scenes that they were in together. snl alumnus David spade and rob Schneider made cameo appearances as well. loved David spade as the slightly effeminate and sarcastic waiter at the organic vegetarian restaurant where the main characters go for a celebratory dinner. so many funny lines. Joel Moore's character of JP kicks ass as well. he's just creepy and strange enough to keep you tuned to the television and wonder what is going to happen next. i kind of felt sorry for him as he really tries to fit in and be one of the regular guys at the gaming centre where the crew all work that is until he stole someone else's idea for a video game...but he gets his in the end. too many funny scenes to mention but the one i like is the dance-off competition between nick swarsden's character and another co-worker. one of those Japanese computerized dance-offs where they match the dance moves on the screen to the one on a giant dance pad. just a light comedy for those looking for laughs.
