A mediocre film in which two employees manage to sell a new condom to Brazil during the World Cup. As expected from a Peter Farrelly comedy, the humor is quite crude. A ridiculous plot with equally ridiculous developments. Quite entertaining here and there, but at a certain point, you’ve seen it all. Of the cast, Sacha Baron Cohen is the best.

I can be brief about this one,
I was looking for a fun, no-nonsense comedy that didn't require thinking.
You always get that just as good?
No, absolutely not, pure American corny humor.
Yes!
Fun for an evening of not thinking
*3.0

Elijah [Paul Walter Hauser] has designed a condom that also protects unhygienic testicles, but needs the smooth marketer Brad [Mark Wahlberg] to ensure they become the official sponsor of the 25 World Cup in Brazil. The duo is rewarded with tickets to the final between Brazil and Argentina, where they absurdly become public enemy number 1 in Brazil, but folk heroes in Argentina. During their escape attempt, they fall into the hands of the ruthless criminal Pavio Curto [Sacha Baron Cohen]. Typical Farrelly comedy is utterly idiotic, but Wahlberg and Hauser are an entertaining comedic duo, and the scene in which they learn how to use the condoms to smuggle large(r) quantities of cocaine is a gem of bad taste.
