Just watched it tonight. As the review said, it’s lighthearted and doesn’t take itself too seriously. I enjoyed it. Yeah, it may be forgettable but does that make it bad?

It reminded me of a dopey sitcom, just a bit naughtier, but equally unfunny and badly acted and written. The bit with the air quotes wasn't even funny once, yet it was repeated often. I walked out halfway through it, after seeing another movie at the multiplex and just changing seats. So, even for free I could not waste my time with this nonsense. I'm certain it will make lots of money and there will be sequels because the movie going public seems to thrive on junk.

I take issue with this movie. I’d like my money back. This is an awful movie. Lots of vomit.

There is nothing wrong to see a dumb movie for some good laughs. Leslie Mann and John Cena are funny and cool, there are some laugh-out loud scenes. It felt even funnier because I ducked into the movie just as it started after seeing "The Quiet Place", which was ok, but had a very good alien.

Idiotic junk. Perfect regression for the age of Trump. Will we forever hover between prurience and obscenity, like giggling junior highers?

I so miss comedies that are geared towards actual adults. People out of their teens need to laugh, too.

Oddly, you have left out of this review the silhouette of a, um, “rooster” that appears in all the subway posters. This bird, by another, shorter name, supplies the implied and rhyming first word of the movie title, which seems fairly obvious, in a fourth- grade-class kind of way.

I knew I was getting old when I'd been seeing the TV ad for weeks before noticing the "rooster" for what is it meant to represent...

This movie shows equal opportunity for teenage girls to be as stupid as teenage boys. Their parents should have used my approach with my 4 teenage daughters: you're ready for sex when you're ready to support and care for a child; mama won't help you kill my grandchild via abortion; and the father of your child will be legally required to pay adequate child support. Have fun! (no pregnancies among my daughters until after marriage in their 20s)

The idea that Donald Trump wants to promote an abstinence-only sex ed curriculum has got to be a whole lot funnier than anything this movie has to offer.

Bravo!
