Pretty good movie! If you liked Bad Santa and that movie with that Napolean guy, you'll like this one, too. One thing, though: near the end when the lead character goes through security running after the girl, stop the movie and go to the alternate ending on the DVD. Like Dodgeball, the alternate ending is okay, whereas the actual ending they went with is stupid and annoying.
With the alternate ending, I give it 7 out of 10.

I thought it fell WAY short of "Bad Santa meets Napoleon Dynomite" (which was on the DVD cover). I saw it more as "Bad News Bears meets Benchwarmers". Billy wasn't NEARLY as offensive/abrasive/funny as he was in Bad Santa and John played the same character as Benchwarmers (only slightly more normal) rather than Napoleon. I was somewhat let down because I was expecting "BS meets ND" cause that's what the box said. . .
It was a decent movie though. I'll have to look at the alternate ending.

:::SPOILER ALERT:::
Eh, it's basically similar, but takes place in the terminal instead of on the plane, and doesn't involve electrical equipment. He fesses up for his lies to her and says Dr. P taught him to do that. What tips it for her is as she and Dr. P are walking away from him Dr. P says something about how "We can't all be lions" and she remembers the other guy saying that and it all clicks. Simple. Doesn't involve stupid crap. I liked it better.
