Both shamelessly play to dumbshit audience loyalty (Smith to potheads; Burns to Irish-Americans and New Yorkers) which continues to work because no one has the courage to say they suck because everyone is afraid they will be told "But 'Clerks' was funny" or "But 'Brothers McMullen' was good" even though neither statement is true, which can be proved by enduring them again for the very first time. If PLF were here he would tell me I'm right. (Hi, Flower!)

Dissent. I quite liked the Brothers McMullen, but I liked She's The One *much* better, and I find that it holds up very well to repeated viewing.
And not just because I fall in love with Jennifer Aniston all over again every time I watch that movie, either.
