"Billion Dollar Movie" is proof positive that having friends is a lot more important than having talent in Hollywood.

The laughs dry up even as the gross-out material grows more, uh, fluid.

The vicious mirth is hit-or-miss but contagious.

Needless to say, this freewheeling parade of bizarreness is not everyone's cup of shrim. Chances are good that the people whose cup of shrim it is already know who they are.

A disposable trifle of fleeting rewards that - like many a feature built around a "Saturday Night Live" sketch - shows its seams after three minutes.

It would be insulting to refer to "Tim & Eric's Billion Dollar Movie" as amateurish - insulting to amateurs everywhere.

Magnolia's trim, handsome Blu-ray preserves Tim and Eric's most ambitious broadside for the viewer's delectation and/or revulsion.

It's all too appropriate that this thing is narrated by Michael Gross.

About as funny as discovering that you have cancer, AIDS and a brain tumor all on the same day.

Tim and Eric were reportedly gleeful at mass audience walkouts during a recent Sundance screening, and they probably delight in savage reviews, bearing them with pride. Well, congrats, guys: You suck.

I'll be greatly surprised if anything this bad comes along again this year -- or any other year, come to that.

Anyone interested in an early visit to Purgatory is directed to this excruciatingly unfunny, frequently repulsive movie.

Had Billion Dollar Movie been just eight minutes on the Funny or Die website, where Heidecker and Wareheim have often appeared, it might have worked.

To quote an SNL sketch featuring costar and producer Will Ferrell, I don't think that legally this qualifies as cinema.

The dead space where laughter should be is like lead.

A shrewdly understated satire of feel-good dramas disguised as gross-out inside jokes, Tim & Eric's Billion Dollar Movie should alternately leave some viewers in stitches while making others quickly leave the theater.

Fortunately, the movie turns out to have more of a story than I would have expected, given the looseness of the TV show, and the plot provides structure and focus.

There are some inspired sketches sprinkled throughout, but the experience is more creepy and off-putting than hilarious.

It's when the absurdness stops momentarily and turns purely to silliness (and when the film does what any other normal film - not this one - should strive to do: build character) that the movie starts to feel long.

TIM & ERIC'S BILLION DOLLAR MOVIE has its moments, but ultimately it feels like a skit stretched out much too long.

Let me start by saying I like Tim and Eric. They have their own style of bizarre humor and I enjoy the things they create. But, they're not for everyone... which makes me like them more because they don't care what people think of them, they're going to keep creating their art (Yes I said art). That all being said,
