Bad Movie

Rating: 3/10 (15 July 2012)

None of these characters are likable. Not all movies have to contain likable characters, but cookie cutter Hollywood comedies do. Diaz's character is not likable even after the mandatory change for the better moment. Jason Segel's character is vaguely likable, but shallow. Phyllis Smith's character is lifter almost completely straight out of The Office. I wouldn't mind seeing her play someone who isn't bland and generic.
The humour: Profanity seems to have replaced humour for most of the movie. The funny parts are all in the trailer. To be honest the trailer was funnier. Jason Segel's character Russell is probably the funniest and I attribute that to his delivery. He breaks up the stupidity. Timberlake not being able to sing has a subtlety to it that's quite good. His O face seems to be the funniest thing he actually did though.
The story: The plot is interesting. Sort of like anti-Dangerous minds(which was hinted at some point). The thing is it's formulaic, which makes it boring and predictable. And what's with all the drugs everywhere? Seriously! Weed is fine I guess, up to a point. It's contrary to the main character's behaviour, but I guess she drinks and takes pills as well. A generic happy ending wraps this boring piece of mindless tripe up.
Nothing else is really worth mentioning. Avoid this movie if you're looking for something actually funny or entertaining!
