So What, People Get Beat Up Every Day.

The new movie from Mike Judge (Beavis and Butthead, Office Space) about a man at an extract plant with a less than happy life with sex lacking from his wife and brain matter lacking from his friend. Upset about many failed attempts to get home to his wife before 8 o'clock (when the sweat pants go on... but don't come off) Joel explains his lack of a sex life to his bartender friend named Dean, who then replys with a ridiculous plan to set up the wife and see if she will cheat so he could have guilt free sex with someone himself. High on the wrong pill taken, Joel agrees to it and finds himself waking up the next morning to a disloyal wife, bad headache, and most of all an annoying neighbor who won't let him get to his driveway without talking a fair amount of pointless dribble. Dean was a great role for Ben Affleck, love to see him in this nature, much like his role in Jay and Silent Bob Strike back; the comic relief to a man in distress. This wasn't as good as Office Space as I have heard from some critics, but it's also not a film to push back. I had a good time watching it because I didn't compare it to any of his other works; I just saw it as a Mike Judge film. Also a crazy coincedence that occured was that in the factory owned by Joel, one of his employees was wearing the same exact shirt I own of a death metal band named The County Medical Examiners, which I gave to my girlfriend; and when I looked to her to show it.. she opened her sweatshirt and there it was, THAT SHIRT!!

Dean: [as Brad walks out of the bar] There he goes... Johnny Horsecock.
