As a comedy it's so-so, but it's neat because neither of the two leads are white. There are decent race jokes in it, involving identity as an Indian or Asian guy in America (and that shithole New Jersey to boot). For instance, John Cho (the asian one) plays a character where the white successful guys at work push him around and give him work while they go out and party on a Friday night.
I didn't much like the movie when I first saw it but found myself returning to it. Most of the jokes/humor were a little funnier the second time around, with my expectations lowered.
Anyway, this scene is sorta funny, and features the dorky extreme sports guys. Sorry for the low quality.
