a someone that be bear and raise in new jersey and a huge howard stern fan ( back when it be free and that be ) and and a fan of both baseball movie and r rat comedy and i have high hope for this movie . boy and be i off when i finally get to see this thing . the movie wasn not funny at all except for a few scene here and there . the screenplay be more sitcom material than movie material where the comedic line just do not sound natural at all . after one character say a funny line and it follow by a silent beat a if it allow time for the audience to laugh before the story continue . what that about . artie lange acting be horrible . he no lead man and should just stick to support role instead . it a shame because some of big laugh i ever have in my life come from listen to the howard stern radio show which artie help tremendously when he be add to the show and but the comedy involve in howard show wasn not stale one liner that fell flat . instead and it be the realistic banter between everyone in the gang about their life and argue or bust each other ball . you would think artie lange would learn from his own radio show what would make a great comedy and but and no . and he choose to make an 86 min . episode of the artie show instead .
