I could barely get though this film. I expected smart comedy but the humor in Laughing Boy is slapstick and juvenile. There are a handful of lines that could have been vaguely amusing if they weren't so poorly delivered, but for the most part the jokes are scatological, crass or just plain stupid. Maybe if you are a fan of Monty Python or SNL or Strangers With Candy you would like this film, but if you're looking for a really sharp and witty movie, look elsewhere.
The only thing worse than the jokes in this movie is the acting. All the characters are over-exaggerated caricatures. I've seen bad comedies but Laughing Boy was downright painful to watch. And the bizarrely interspersed animated segments definitely don't help.
