Schneider had a dual role as the co-writer and star of the film so his character is a sample of his creative writing ability that has its funny moments. Schneider learned well from his SNL days and sometimes his comedic timing works well with his silly expressions. But the amount of crude humor ruins the lighter moments in the movie. Colleen Haskell rose to fame during the original Survivor television series and makes her feature film debut because of that fame. For an amateur, she does a decent job playing a sweet, naive character.
Although Rob’s scenes as a man with animal behavior are humorous, after awhile the running joke runs right out of steam. One scene that will be most talked about is when Schneider does some personal grooming (like a dog) which involves lifting his leg and licking himself like dogs do, out-racing a dog, climbing trees like a monkey, swimming like dolphins and running like a cheetah. There are other behaviors that he imitates and funny instincts he portrays, including feeding a baby bird from his mouth. Adults can reason through the comedy element of a man receiving internal animal parts and mimicking that behavior and hopefully, most teenagers can too. But these days there are so many teenagers imitating stupid stunts and behavior from TV shows like “Jackass” it makes me shudder to think what might be copied from this movie (the perverted goat scene comes to mind).
