The Long Weekend (2005) 8/10

Starring : Chris Klein, Brendan Fehr, Cobie Smulders, Chandra West, Craig Fairbrass, Paul Campbell
Director : Pat Holden
Running Time : 87 mins

Cooper (Klein) and Ed Waxman (Fehr) are two very different brothers, one focusing on work while the other focuses on play. One weekend Cooper decides to make it his duty to get his brother laid so he can get over his ex. Uunfortunately this is the same weekend that Ed has to complete an advertising presentation or face losing his job.

This was one of the most gross out comedies I’ve seen in a while, All of the jokes revolve around sex and falling over, which is always good. It’s nice to see Klein playing an out and out comedy character, as he manages to do this with some skill, and even Fehr plays the put upon brother with exceptional ease. Definitely worth investigating, despite some bad reviews.
