Two brothers Frank and Bruce seek the help of a transgender hacker in erasing all evidence of a sex tape from the internet before the unhinged movie star father of the girl involved seeks violent revenge.
It's unbearable to sit through at times, watching decent actors flounder with intentionally ridiculous material, working themselves into a lather to serve writer/director Jordan Roberts's clumsy sense of humor.
A vibrantly vulgar comedy that never hangs around to admire its own cleverness.
