Yeah, sadly i did.

Once you've used every swear and genitalia word in the book in the opening ten minutes there was nowhere for the film to go in terms of shock value or in an attempt to raise laughs and it was never going to attempt any other sort of comedy with which to entertain. It was a film which truly shot it's load prematurely.

If anyone's interested, Sex Lives of the Potato Men's language makes Superbad seem like keeping Up Appearances.
