Good Example of How Not to Do Offensive Comedy
The film involves a day in the lives of workers at a family restaurant in USA. The manager wants to make a good impression in order to become regional manager so he can “get more chicks,” so he tells his employees that the restaurant is closing down if they don’t make a certain amount of money. A popular Hooters opens next door as well (it’s called bonbons or something – it’s a parody), which makes the challenge all the more difficult.

Apparently it’s a sequel to a better movie, but I didn’t see it. I don’t think you’re missing much, anyway. Most of the characters are archetypes. In fact, most of them are the same archetype – services workers with mostly disatisfied lives, desperately trying to grasp for more out of life (women, sex, money, fame, whatever…) and remaining almost as hungry as always (or in the same state of waiting, we can say) by the end of the movie.

It’s a farce that tries to score laughs on the basis of offensive humour (specifically racist and sexist) and it fails miserably at it, which is ironic because Adam Carolla, master of this type of humour, is in it and his scene is hilarious.

The problem isn’t that the humour could cause offense, as such. Rather it falls flat because of two problems:

1) It doesn’t make logical sense – Example: at one point they insult Mexican restaurants clearly in an attempt to insult Mexicans, but Mexican restaurants in USA are mostly owned, frequented, and often even staffed by white people. (also the supposed Mexican immigrant keeps saying “esé” – a Chicano word used by Los Angeles-born Mexicans mainly in the 80s – making the character a logical contradiction, but it’d fly over most people’s heads so hardly worth mentioning).

Example 2: A girl says she has a fetish for accents and some guy does some bad accents, but he’s mostly spewing gibberish pretending to speak a foreign language. There’s a difference between an accent and a foreign language. Illogical to the point of confusion rather than humour.

2) They usually have to be at least somewhat grounded in reality but most of the time here the scenarios are so unrealistic they break the audience’s will to suspend disbelief: Example: A restaurant worker at the Hooters acts so blatantly perverted and weird that it loses all semblance of reality. There’s no feeling of cringe, there’s just the empty feeling of watching someone pretending to act on a screen.

It seems it’s mostly just racist and sexist for the sake of being mean, which tends to not be very funny.

Granted, it has some scenes that could be iconic. The montage during evening rush with Flight of the Bumblebee is artistically done, the Don Juan character’s transformation from seductionist to loser is subtle and masterful, and the scene reminiscing about how lame the different fashions were in the 90s was funny.

But most of the good stuff happens near the end. Too little, too late.

Honourable Mentions: Clerks (1994). Come to think of it, this movie is like a 90s movie. Clerks may have been the first one to consider the lives of go-nowhere service workers waiting on better days in a a farcical comedy. Haven’t seen it in a while and it might be boring by now, but when it came out it was certainly fresh and it can’t be as bad as this mess.
