Austin Adult Entertainment: Extract Review
A fluke accident claims the testicle of Step (Clifton Collins Jr.) and his pending lawsuit threatens the deal. “You’re going to get a huge settlement out of this” is vintage Judge even if the line doesn’t go for a laugh this time.
The malleable Step is encouraged to sue by a sexy con artist named Cindy (Mila Kunis), who spends her limited screen time manipulating and flirting with the other characters. She’s a cute but underutilized temptress, merely serving as the destructive force that meddles with Joel’s mundane life.
The story chugs along smoothly like a trusty conveyor belt, but it just doesn’t deliver a steady stream of jokes.
