- Alternate versionsThe UK release was cut, this film was originally shown to the BBFC in an unfinished version. The BBFC advised the distributor that the film was likely to receive a 15 classification but that the requested 12A classification could be obtained by making changes to dialogue. In particular the BBFC suggested that the distributor remove the line, "my thingy smells like lamb chops" when a character talks about 'multiplying with sheep'; that they remove the line, "did you know he can put his penis in his mouth, the whole thing"; and the line "his poor rectum is absolutely pulverised, which is not usual for a sheep in this region". When the finished version of the film was submitted these changes had been made and the film was classified 12A.

Featured review
Not nearly as bad as everyone seems to think
Saw this at a matinée yesterday, with very lowered expectations. Don't quite get all the hate on here for it. If you like Jack Black and Michael Cera, they perform as expected here, loudmouthed braggart and wimpy foil, respectively. Amazing cast...David Cross as Cain and Paul Rudd as Abel? Inspired. Oliver Platt as a hairy-chested high priest? The "McLovin" Kid? There's even a member of Upright Citizens Brigade who puts in a very brief cameo. The story is dumb, and there's a few jokes that fall flat...but the sets are impressive and everyone involved seems to be having fun. A good rental, at least. But you people that are rating it a 1? Save your venom for movies that deserve that, like "Meet The Spartans" (unwatchable) or the latest Michael Bay atrocity.
