Another reviewer Jackpollins had the best description so I'll only say a few things for myself. I love adventure flicks & I love adventures in real life, so this is a nice treat! It's not as bad as the ratings perceive, at the same time it's not as good as most adventure comedies like The Hangover, Road Trip, Due Date, or Wild Hogs. With that being said "Wieners" is a great cheesy goofball movie & don't mind me, on some subjects I'm very quirky, anyway glad this came on Showtime I highly recommend giving it a chance.

Funny comedy for what it is!
There were no toppings?...
One question; what happened to the laughs? "Wieners", as a comedy, failed to deliver. From the looks of the cover, it looks like a fairly straight up comedy that resembles something of a mix between a Nation Lampoons and typical teenage comedy. And I do believe that the movie appeals to a younger audience, but still, what happened to the laughs?
For a movie with a name like "Wieners", you would assume there would be more sausages and jokes related to guy's private parts in it, but oddly enough there was almost none of either. The movie had potential to put up a lot of such moments, but just didn't do it.
This is basically just a dull version of a road-trip movie that didn't make it all the way to the goal.
The cast in "Wieners" were fairly good. The movie was carried by Kenan Thompson (playing Wyatt),and he was also the one that sported the most laughs, for some reason. He got help from Zachary Levi (playing Ben) and Fran Kranz (playing Joel). On the list are more interesting names such as Darrell Hammond (playing Dr. Dwayne),Mindy Sterling (playing Mrs. Applebaum) and a super great performance by Blake Clark (playing Mr. Applebaum).
I had expected to be laughing more throughout the movie, so I was disappointed when the movie ended, and I was left with a hot dog that sadly enough was missing mustard, ketchup and the works.
Chill out, people....take it for what it is... a stupid and funny comedy
I've been hearing a lot of bad things about the comedy, Wieners. I happened to run into it on television, and all I have to say is that it is a very, very funny movie. Kenan Thompson is very funny as Wyatt, who along with his two friends, Ben (the fantastic Zachary Levi),and Joel (Fran Kranz) go on a road trip to take revenge on a TV show host named Dr. Dwayne (Darrell Hammond) who insulted them. This turns into your typical, stupid road trip film. The only difference is that this is literally breathtakingly funny. It was not smart, but I found myself laughing continuously. One of the funnier, yet more disgusting moments involves Jenny McCarthy as their formerly hot teacher, Ms. Isaac who has now become an unattractive redneck. This movie may understandingly not speak to some, but for fans of comedies like Road Trip, American Pie, and Old School, this will be undeniably fun. Even for some non-fans of those types of films, this movie should definitely without a doubt be extremely funny. Thompson, Levi, Kranz, and Hammond have all been excellent before, and are good as ever here. Definitely one worth checking out.
