A comedy that won't make you laugh or smile. The one positive is seeing a lot of comedians in cameo roles before they were big enough to turn down a project like this.

Hilarious movie! It’s definitely humour for guys….lots of dumb laughs.

This movie is highly underrated. One of the best comedy movies for its time.

Hilarious movie. Michael Clarke Duncan is so funny in this

The Broken Lizard full-length feature sandwiched between Beerfest and Super Troopers 2 (the troupe produced a film, Freeloaders, in 2012 with cameos from the group), The Slammin' Salmon doesn't get much attention and I wouldn't be surprised if the average viewer didn't know it existed. Like Waiting, you'll enjoy this movie more if you've worked in a restaurant, even if the gags are completely over-the-top. The movie does a surprisingly nice job of keeping the staff's — six waiters and the manager — plots interesting. However, I would've cut Paul Soter's second character (the new-hire busboy) and just focused on the angry chef character, which had some early screen-time but was largely forgotten throughout the film. Cleon Slammin' Salmon (Michael Clark Duncan), is our ex-heavy-weight champion turned restaurateur-villain. He is verbally and physically abusive to his staff, poor with money, and an overall psychopath — he also has many of the best lines, in which he jumbles words and phrases and becomes irate when he is corrected. "Don't assume. When you assume, you make an asshole outta ya self," (para) is a line friends and I still use. However, many of the best lines come from ancillary characters (a trend I've noticed in not-great comedies), including "I'm the black woman from law and order," and "Twins are disgusting man." Jay Chandrasekhar as "Nuts"/"Zongo" didn't get as much screen-time as I would've liked. Even though his wild, alter-ego (Zongo), was cliché and annoying at first, the character was actually one of the funnier subplots by the end. The Will Forte character as the War and Peace-reading "Lone Diner" is a solid gag, which had to end the way it ended. The Slammin' Salmon isn't up there with Super Troopers, Beerfest, or even Club Dread, but it's an enjoyable isolated-location comedy with enough laughs to merit a watch.

A slight, blink and you’ll miss it comedy from Broken Lizard. (It played theatrically in NYC in one theater for one week.) It has a good cast, some nice cameos, and a few good laughs, but not much else. Had potential, though.

Its a cult icon from the boys who brought you super troopers. The amount of catchphrases you will have stuck in your head afterwards is worth its weight in marlin fillets.

Original. Hilarious. Every character had their time to be awesome. Great work everyone. Hey cast - Don't listen to the reviews! Chip chip Hooray!

If you dislike this movie, you shouldn't visit any restaurant.

slammin salmon is one of the funniest movies ever

A lesser effort from Broken Lizard. It has its moments, but overall is pretty mediocre and forgettable. Michael Clarke Duncan shines and is quite amusing. Rental at best, possibly the worst cover art ever.

The crew from Super Troopers are a team of waiters at a high-class restaurant owned by a former boxer. The boxer gets into serious financial trouble, so he makes it very clear to the waitstaff that they must make an exorbitant sum of money in one evening of sales, or violence will be used. Good and will re-watch, but probably my least favourite Broken Lizard film (though I don't remember Puddle Cruiser very well).

This movie sucks. Broken Lizard did one good Movie (Super Troopers) and everything else has pretty much sucked since that movie. Not sure why i keep watching their movies.

Broken Lizard scores big time on this workplace comedy!

Cheesy at times but an under rated broken lizard flick. Worth a watch.

Iâ??m a bit of a sucker for storylines that happen in one 24-hour period because of the way characters change in the short amount of time. In this movie, that was really its only strong point. The movie starts rough - most of the characters lack a certain level of awareness - but the story and the characters get more interesting as the plot unfolds. Also of note is Michael Clarke Duncan in this role thatâ??s truly unique to his usual characters. This movie made me miss him, but I canâ??t say I miss him in roles like these.

Liked it way more then I expected too. If you like Mel Brooks movies you should like this :)

This is the best, funniest movie in cinematic history. Except for one thing. I'm lying.

This was bloody hilarious... can't believe I waited so long to watch this... definitely will not disappoint in my opinion... R.I.P. Mr. Duncan.

Though not outright bad, The Slammin' Salmon is possessed of much less of their trademark timeless (and brainless) humour than the majority of Broken Lizards work. Instead, here they opt for gross out and cliche laughs, very few of which land. Even the the amazing cast additions of Michael Clarke Duncan, Lance Henriksen, Cobie Smulders, Will Forte and Sendhil Ramamurthy couldn't elevate this film above merely "watchable". For the same thing, only better, watch 2005's "Waiting...".
