“I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore!” Who among us has not wanted to open their window and shout that at the top of their lungs? Seriously, who? Because we’re looking for those people. We’re looking for the people who think shouting is annoying, counterproductive, and terrible for your throat; who feel that the loudest voices shouldn’t be the only ones that get heard; and who believe that the only time it’s appropriate to draw a Hitler mustache on someone is when that person is actually Hitler. Or Charlie Chaplin in certain roles.

o mesmo diretor de Corra Que a Polícia vem Ai, esta é uma hilariante paródia do mundo dos esportes profissionais estrelado por Tery Parker & Matt Stone (South Park), sobre dois caras que inventam um jogo de rua, que logo se torna uma obsessão nacional e os coloca em evidência. Uma comédia hilariante sobre gatinhas, bebuns e de como se tornar o número um. A crítica considerou o filme " uma comédia tão inteligente quanto engraçada", " absoluta, estérica, de rolar de rir". com um elenco de conhecidos talentos, que incluem Yasmine Bleeth, Jenny McCarthy, Robert Vaughn e Ernest Borgnine, e participação especial de Reggie Jackson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Dale Earnhardt, Al Michaels, Bob Costas e kenny Mayne, esse é um filme campeão!
