Saucisses à tout prix

I can say there were a few times I laughed..... like 3 times in the movie. The rest of the movie I was left wondering wow how in the world could a comedy be this bad. Cool to see Chris Pratt a year before he started in Parks and Recs and Zachary Levi before Chuck. Other than that....... you might want to pass on this weird dumb comedy.

Another reviewer Jackpollins had the best description so I'll only say a few things for myself. I love adventure flicks & I love adventures in real life, so this is a nice treat! It's not as bad as the ratings perceive, at the same time it's not as good as most adventure comedies like The Hangover, Road Trip, Due Date, or Wild Hogs. With that being said "Wieners" is a great cheesy goofball movie & don't mind me, on some subjects I'm very quirky, anyway glad this came on Showtime I highly recommend giving it a chance.

'Wieners' is a budget installment in the genre of teen sex comedies such as 'American Pie' and 'Porky's'.

The humor is hit and miss. Some of the gags did in fact tickle my funny bone, but many just fell flat. As the title name would imply, the majority of the humor is centered around sexual innuendo and themes. 'Wieners' was surprisingly less raunchy than I would have assumed, and that actually works in it's favor. The plot is more or less a disposable vehicle for the comedy, centering around a group of friends heading cross-country in a hot dog van to seek revenge on a daytime talk show host.

The hijinx and situational comedy encountered on the road trip are, of course, the highlights of this movie.

If an median movie is a 5, this is a slightly subpar bit of cinema, yet not a completely wasted effort or a true stinkbomb.

• 4/10 -

Wyatt (Kenan Thompson) wants so badly to become a hot-dog-selling employee, gets the bright idea to take his two best friends, Ben (Zachary Levi of "Chuck" fame) and Joel (Fran Kranz, "Dollhouse") cross-country in a self-made hot-dog company promoting car to give away free wieners in order to promote the company that won't hire him. There's also the added benefit of kicking the crap out of a Dr. Phil-like talk show host (Darrell Hammond) who caused Joel to get dumped by his girlfriend when they reach their final destination. Along the way they meet multiple eccentric characters sadly, all of which are much more annoying than funny.

This is pretty much a low-rent "Road Trip" clone minus the laughs. It's one of those films where the 'jokes' arn't just devoid of laughs, but their 'punch-lines' can be seen coming from a mile away. To top it off none of the characters are particularly likable enough to care about their so-called 'madcap' adventures. The minutes seemed to stretch for hours, especially during the time that Jenny McCarthy's on the screen (it's just a glorified cameo, yet it felt endless)

Eye Candy: An extra briefly shows her tits at a strip-club & two others randomly walk by later in the film

My Grade: D-

Well I'm in it so it must be good...I was a small child but I knew that I had a future in acting. I am surprised I didn't get an Oscar nod to be honest.
