Tim & Eric desperately need to pay back their billion-dollar debt to Loggia. Thankfully, an opportunity to make exactly that much arrives when eccentric, Top Gun-loving businessman Will Ferrell (who also produced, along with Adam McKay and Chris Henchy) offers anyone an opportunity to make a billion dollars by running a mall so rundown and hellish, it looks like the last commercial enterprise of a post-apocalyptic future. (Or something found in one of Detroit’s nicer neighborhoods.)
The mall’s inhabitants include sickly, semi-feral John C. Reilly, an angry sword-shop proprietor (Will Forte), an incongruously dignified man who runs a used-toilet-paper outlet, and a somewhat-attractive middle-aged woman who inspires intense sexual competition between Tim & Eric. Billion Dollar Movie features one of the most graphic, viscerally unnerving sex scenes in recent memory; it’s a testament to the film’s chutzpah and eagerness to push boundaries that something infinitely more disgusting (involving children, no less) is happening at the same time. Freed from the restrictions of cable television, Tim & Eric are able to let their warped imaginations run wild, and they’ve never been the type to rein themselves in.
