For us, making fun of
Fred Durst is like making "that's what she said" jokes. We're always on the lookout for a chance to do it, it makes us laugh more than other people, and afterward, we feel kind of embarrassed. And wouldn't you know it, that backward-hat and Dickies-wearing dipshit without an ounce of talent, credibility or personality, has a heart-warming family movie coming out today.
The Longshots stars Durst's fellow bad boy-turned-lameass
Ice Cube and is about a girl and football or something. Not important. What is important is that we're not the only one's who love hating Fred Durst. Movie reviewers are all about it as well:
"In the whatever-you-say department, Fred Durst of rock band Limp Bizkit directs the comedy The Longshots. (Come on, he can't even spell biscuit.)"—Wichita Eagle
"As far as we know, maybe Fred Durst did direct The Longshots all for the nookie. For the rest of us though—and after a decidedly nookie-free screening—I can only respectfully suggest the Limp Bizkit frontman should, to recall his own lyrical mastery, "stick it up his—yeah."—Winnipeg Sun
"The Longshots: Family-friendly football film directed by—drum roll, please—Fred Durst. That's right, Fred "Did it all for the nookie" Durst. Fred "Sex tape on the Internet" Durst. And, apparently these days, Fred "Wholesome family man" Durst."—San Diego City Beat
"Perhaps the most brilliant decision the producers of The Longshots made was to hold director Fred Durst's credit from reveal until the end of the film, to minimize assured slack-jawed disbelief."—Ohmy News
"Unfortunately, director Fred Durst blends all of these time-honored components with the same skill level that he brought to the stage with his crappy band Limp Bizkit."—Time Out NY
"Musician-turned-director Fred Durst and screenwriter Nick Santora pile on so many clichés, so many pandering side characters that only exist in the world of movies, and so much saccharine sweetness that the result is more likely to make the viewer feel sick from sugar overload."—TheMovieBoy.com
"The Longshots is corny and absurdly predictable.... It could be former Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst's generally uninspired direction. Or maybe it's the perverse power of the montage."—The Gazette (Colorado)
"The Longshots Ice Cube and Keke Palmer star in this family football comedy directed by Fred Durst. Wait, what?"—SF Bay Guardian
"What the heck is with Fred Durst directing a family comedy? I remember back in the Limp Bizkit days—he was always trying to come off as "street" with his trademark red baseball cap worn backwards (doesn't get more street than that folks!)."—JoBlo.com link
