Review

By Gimly

Though not outright bad, _The Slammin’ Salmon_ is possessed of much less of their trademark timeless (and brainless) humour than the majority of Broken Lizards work. Instead, here they opt for gross out and cliche laughs, very few of which land. Even the the amazing cast additions of Michael Clarke Duncan, Lance Henriksen, Cobie Smulders, Will Forte and Sendhil Ramamurthy couldn’t elevate this film above merely “watchable”. For the same thing, only better, watch 2005’s “_Waiting…_”.

_Final rating: ★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product._
