One of the best comedies this year

Rating: 8/10 (26 June 2011)

Not saying it to be contrary, but me and my girlfriend loved this film. It harks back to early Adam Sandler brilliance circa Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore.
We saw it in a small cinema, so clearly it has been difficult to market a slightly older female lead in a comedy (Or maybe they gave up completely) but it was a packed house and there were raucous laughs throughout the whole film. I loved that it was morally shameful, yet still had a heart. A little bit like Bad Santa.
The trailer for this movie was a bit s#*t, so don't judge it on that. I also had reservations about Cameron Diaz but was quickly won over. The rest of the cast was excellent, with a couple of show stealing supporting characters, the script was consistently funny and it was well directed.
Also it's full of Freaks n Geeks players for anyone who was a fan of that show.
