I'm very curious on how this movie come to be. It's nothing more than cheesy dialogues and entirely predictable jokes, but it manages to include Jean Claude Van Damme and Daniel Haybert, who have more credential in action. Not to mention the attempt in humor is very crude, it's practically littered with profanity as well as decades old slapstick.The story follows a group of company workers who are sent to an island for teamwork drill. They hired Van Damme as the guide but he is far from special force veteran here. Not before long everything falls apart and it becomes torturous castaway flick. Characters are stereotypical, you have your overly nice guy, scruffy sidekick for comedy, pretty love interest and that one annoying boss.Everyone behaves in straightforward manner following template from 90s comedy, the other cast not only lacks any hint common sense, they are also interchangeable extras. Jokes aren't funny in the slightest, with most are attributed with vulgar or racial tone. It tries hard way too much it becomes too unnatural. Perhaps this is to showcase the stagnant work place can be and how people would like to become more than they are, but it delivers the idea in such feeble manner, crediting them such effort is an overstatement.Van Damme, maybe, wants to broaden his acting range. This character is so different from his usual stint, it could be interesting for a few scenes, but it becomes too tired too fast. In fact, the movie feels way too lengthy for such thin material. It really wastes not only audience's time but also dulls their senses.Avoid at all cost. It is worth neither your money nor time.

First off, I LOVE spoof movies. I've got a great since of humor and this movie was not funny at all.. I have seen some really bad movies too, but this one has made it to my number one in WORST movie EVER watched. I did not read any reviews before seeing this and wish I had done so. There are a few who said they actually liked this movie. I will remember those who gave the movie a good review, just so I stay away from their reviews. Just because I disagree with them does not make their opinion bad or wrong, it just lets me know my taste and their taste in movies are not the same. Can not believe Megan Boone (The Blacklist) was in this movie. Or Adam Brody, he is a good actor as well. As for JCVD, this was not his kind of movie either, even if he was trying something different, this was not a good start being in this crappy not really funny movie. I did not expect much from this movie either, and it could not even produce that.This movie was just outright HORRIBLE..... Those who gave this a good review, I know never to read their reviews or trust their reviews....(again, we all have different taste and opinions) It is a piece of crapolla movie. It cost $3,500,000.00 to make... What?! I feel bad for all the investors who vested in this movie...I would've been so embarrassed if I was cast in this movie. Hopefully this would be the only bad movie I've ever been in, it happens. After this movie, all movies would be looking GREAT from here though... *smiles* Oh, in this movie it spoofs about some other movies, which made me smirk, so I found a smidgen of laughter for a second.

This movie is strictly for people who enjoyed Office Space, Dumb & Dumber, Dodgeball, Ace Ventura, etc. and have the capacity to get over themselves. It's absolutely ridiculous, immature, and goofy like all of those other low brow comedies but with a way smaller budget and considerably less starpower. It's not a thinking mans movie and will never considered for an Oscar but I think anybody with common sense realizes that 5 minutes in. It's definitely not an instant classic either but people on this site are being way to hard considering what this is. All the acting is more than adequate for a screwball comedy and it has it's share of laughs and silliness. I'd recommend it for the people who just want be amused and entertained for a few hours by a little of absurdity.

If you're looking for some laughs and to see Jean Claude van Damme being hilariously ridiculous then this movie is good for a watch.Basic premise is Office Space meets Lord of the Flies with JCVD thrown into the mix.JCVD is a welcome addition to the cast, definitely poking a lot of fun at himself in this role. The main actor is almost a carbon copy of the lead from Office Space in terms of his persona and his back-story. The supporting cast are great, especially the "evil" co-worker.Nothing deep or serious here. All in all just a funny romp worth watching.
