Along the way, he encounters some strange characters, one of which is a cow trained in the martial arts.

User Review
You either love it or hate it -- and I loved it!!!!
Rating: 10/10
I laughed so hard I could hardly breathe. This is one of the funniest
films I have ever seen.
The Screen-It Our Take reviewer doesn't like "silly" humor. I do. My
most common comments while watching: "That's SO STUPID!!" (when I could
catch a breath from laughing) and "What was THAT??"
There are no swear words, no realistic violence, and no sex scenes.
It's just FUN!! My 13-year-old son & I rented it and watched it twice
in one week. It was even funnier the second time.
My husband hated it. He thought it was the most "un-funny" film he'd
ever seen.
