In Videos: Trailer for 'The Slammin' Salmon' Movie
I'm not sure what to make of The Slammin' Salmon, the latest slapstick comedy from Broken Lizard (the same folks behind Beerfest and Super Troopers). Finally, a movie with salmon in the title! Basically, Michael Clarke Duncan's character runs a Miami seafood restaurant and challenges his waitstaff to make the most money in one night. They do crazy stuff, some of which is funny. The trailer, after the jump.

Wow, I can't believe I just wasted 90 precious seconds of my life watching half of that trailer. Then again, at least I didn't waste months of my life writing, acting or directing it.

Well, considering Club Dread and Beerfest were both way more funny that I thought they would be (honestly, they were pretty funny) I'll end up seeing this and liking it. In a theater? Probably not.
The last few mainstream movies about restaurants weren't that great (Waiting, No Reservations), so we're due for a good restaurant movie. I caught Dinner Rush on Sundance a few months ago, and wow, that was a pretty slick restaurant movie, if maybe a bit of a knock off of Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential.
Speaking of Kitchen Confidential, hulu.com has the entire, short-lived, TV series adaptation of Bourdain's book at http://www.hulu.com/kitchen-confidential. If you've ever worked in a fast-paced restaurant, there are plenty of "ha ha, that's so true" moments to enjoy. (Because, haven't we all cut off the tip of a finger and served it to a restaurant critic?)

Supertroopers is one of my favorite movies and this looks just as funny. I can't wait to see it.
@chefimposter: I saw Dinner rush on IFC and I agree with you. It was good but very bourdainesque. Which is okay with me :)

Broken Lizard rocks!! SuperTroopers, Club Dread and BeerFest were hugely funny! I'll be sure to see this.
