Ya' know, it's not that that was my favorite scene, but I haven't seen it
since the theatre, opening day. For some reason, when I typed the above,
THAT was the first scene that leapt to mind. Yeah it was tasteless, stupid
and vile. But it stuck in my head, perhaps for those very reasons. The fact
that the filmmakers had such incredibly hot babes engaging in such
disgusting behavior was, well...it was memorable.

Now that I sit and *think* about it, I guess two of the better scenes were:
A) the stuff with Chris Meloni under heavy makeup as the deformed swinger
redneck and 2) the dream sequence with the bag of weed.

But really, the H&K is a huge amount of fun, and one of the better
turn-your-brain-off comedies in recent years. It was fuckloads better than
"Wedding Crashers" which I walked out of. Just dire, that was. Nothing will
change my mind on that, not even the day [provided it comes] that I finish
the movie.

Yup, that was funny, too.

Nobody was tokin' at my mid-day screening - *BUT* - I distinctly recall
getting major amusement out of the senior citizens behind me that were
laughing as loud as - if not louder than - me.
