Sub-par comedy with some uplifting moments

Rating: 4/10 (25 June 2013)

I found the movie to be very disappointing, mainly due to the lack of actual humor. There are some scenes that make you smile, maybe even laugh, but they're scarce.
Ferrel's acting is decent, though Applegate's acting is funny and smart. For me she lifted the movie up.
Of course the story is paper thin, that's also not one of its ambitions, but a little more time could have been spent on character development.
Maybe I'm just comparing everything to The Big Lebowski, maybe I'm not the right audience, but overall this movie simply isn't funny enough to make up for its lack of depth.
