I really, REALLY wanted to like this movie after watching it on HDNet but I just couldn't do it. I wish it had been played more straight, not to mention The Drake's sons just killed it for me.

I'd bite on that. I agree with Mike UFC's comments - the sons killed it for me, and I hated Drake and his terrible accent. But I still had enough fun to warrant a purchase.
great extras - day 1 purchase for me

Got this today at Best Buy using the $5 coupon, ended up being $13.84 with tax. Kind of wish they didn't have David Brunt (the hobo from the fake trailer) on one of the commentary tracks. He spent a good five minutes talking about bear safety starting during Rutger's bear speech and continuing for several minutes after, which really killed the commentary for a while. Then he kept trying to talk over people and getting after the guys for their language. Pretty enjoyable commentary apart from that guy though.

I'm still on the edge about this one. The reviews I've read seem to be mixed. Most of them liken the film to a Troma release, which doesn't say a lot. That's like comparing it to a SyFy Picture Original movie; most of them are garbage, but there are always a few that will stand out and become b-movie gems.

It's like the "real" Troma movies from the '80s...think The Toxic Avenger and Class of Nuke 'Em High, along with not-Troma-but-in-the-same-wheelhouse movies like Street Trash.

Street Trash was also the feeling I got from the film. Troma has NEVER made a movie that looks this good, despite years of effort. I'm a huge fan

Yeah, it seems like the movie Troma always tried to make but never got quite right...

Hey gang, I wrote a review as well for We Got This Covered. In short? One of the best Blu's of the year.
