The plot is so stupid, I'm not even going to describe it to you. If you really want to know what it is, I included the IMDB page link above like I do for every review.
The cast of this movie is stacked. You would think this movie would be great. And really, with a real plot it could have been. Dan Fogler, Christopher Walken, James Hong, Terry Crews, Aisha Taylor, Diedrich Bader, David Koechner, Thomas Lennon, Patton Oswalt, Jim Rash, and George Lopez. Then we have Maggie Q, Robert Patrick, and the guy that played Shang Tsung (sorry dude, typing your name will take a half hour). Like I said: stacked! The premise is just so stupid, and the script knows it.
The movie takes a partial page out of the "Scary Movie" book of comedy and attempts to fit many spoofs/homages and gags into the same scene. For instance when Randy receives the Golden Paddle, he is met in a dark back alley by a mysterious Asian man (who's name is "Mysterious Asian Man") after defeating the leader of the ping pong elders. The man presents him the paddle, then asks how to get to the freeway. Just seconds after he exits the stage, James Hong asks what's going on because he's blind. You will never forget that James Hong is blind in this movie, because there is a joke about it seemingly every 30 seconds.
Not everything is bad in this movie. There is ample use of Def Leppard, and we can all agree that is awesome. The scene during the credits is just great, because its the whole cast jamming out to "Pour Some Sugar on Me". And "Rock of Ages" is Randy's theme song.
Don't go out of your way to see this. If you catch on Comedy Central Sunday morning at 9am, check it out. Just don't expect much out of it. It is stupid, and not nearly as funny as it should be with that cast. You'll find yourself chuckling at parts, but this is not a laugh-out-loud movie. Unless you loved "Blades of Glory". Then this is your thing.
