Jackpollins I've been hearing a lot of bad things about the comedy, Wieners. I happened to run into it on television, and all I have to say is that it is a very, very funny movie. Kenan Thompson is very funny as Wyatt, who along with his two friends, Ben (the fantastic Zachary Levi), and Joel (Fran Kranz) go on a road trip to take revenge on a TV show host named Dr. Dwayne (Darrell Hammond) who insulted them. This turns into your typical, stupid road trip film. The only difference is that this is literally breathtakingly funny. It was not smart, but I found myself laughing continuously. One of the funnier, yet more disgusting moments involves Jenny McCarthy as their formerly hot teacher, Ms. Isaac who has now become an unattractive redneck. This movie may understandingly not speak to some, but for fans of comedies like Road Trip, American Pie, and Old School, this will be undeniably fun. Even for some non-fans of those types of films, this movie should definitely without a doubt be extremely funny. Thompson, Levi, Kranz, and Hammond have all been excellent before, and are good as ever here. Definitely one worth checking out.

Tanuccoon The movie starts well enough: A guy, arguing with his girlfriend, ends up on the show of a thinly veiled Dr. Phil to help work through the relationship. However, this episode has a twist. Some time later, our hero spends his days sitting in his underwear watching and re-watching that same episode. To snap him out of his funk his friend, who just bought a weinermobile, proposes a road trip---to travel across the country and kick the good doctor's ass! The film, however, is unable to keep the momentum going behind this interesting concept and things quickly devolve into crappy physical humor, some running gay jokes, a lewd reference here and there, and some awkward situations that bore more than they amuse. All of which serves as nothing more than an attempt to bulk out the film because clearly the writers ran out of good ideas. The ending is also a somewhat disappointing muddled mess that leaves viewers with the distinct impression that they just lost 90 minutes of their life that they're never going to get back.Former child star & current SNL cast member Kenan Thompson plays the happy-go-lucky hot doggatier Wyatt and greatly outshines the rest of the cast. Despite his best efforts, however, even he can't pull laughs out of this mess. The only two other faces you might recognize in the film are Jenny McCarthy (of Mtv fame) and Darrell Hammond (who plays the thinly veiled Dr. Phil parody). All three perform admirably in their roles. However, the leading man, Zach Levi (aka Chuck on the NBC comedy of the same name) could have easily been replaced with a sack of potatoes in the majority of scenes and nobody would ever have noticed.If you're going to see Wieners, if you watch the first 10 or 15 minutes then fast forward to the last 10 (or, because you're going to probably see this on TV, watch something else for a while) you might enjoy the film.

BettyChampagne Where's the mustard… where's the relish… where's the wieners!!! This "movie" is a really lame attempt at a buddy/road trip movie in the vein of National Lampoon comedies. There are a few laughs, all of which come courtesy of Kenan Thompson, but it's easy to be funny when you are firing off jokes every three seconds… literally!!! I like Kenan's work on SNL, but unfortunately his character is not interesting enough to fix this broken Wiener. His character is very annoying and he shoots almost every line in the movie like he's trying to reach the back row of a live audience. Some of his jokes do hit the mark, but suffice it to say… a little Kenan goes a long way! The rest of the film is just okay, but there are a few gross-out scenes that drag down my rating i.e. who needs to see someone pick their butts, belly buttons, etc… and the "spit" scene - YUCK!I'm sure there's an audience for this sophomoric attempt at comedy, but I think even the most juvenile of audiences won't find much to laugh at with this wienie attempt of a movie.

the_mainsail 'Wieners' is a budget installment in the genre of teen sex comedies such as 'American Pie' and 'Porky's'.The humor is hit and miss. Some of the gags did in fact tickle my funny bone, but many just fell flat. As the title name would imply, the majority of the humor is centered around sexual innuendo and themes. 'Wieners' was surprisingly less raunchy than I would have assumed, and that actually works in it's favor. The plot is more or less a disposable vehicle for the comedy, centering around a group of friends heading cross-country in a hot dog van to seek revenge on a daytime talk show host.The hijinx and situational comedy encountered on the road trip are, of course, the highlights of this movie.If an median movie is a 5, this is a slightly subpar bit of cinema, yet not a completely wasted effort or a true stinkbomb.4/10 -
