If you've seen the trailer you've seen the movie

Rating: 1/10 (2 July 2011)

OK,
So I'm new to rating the movies and I don't go to many in the theater but wait for them to come out to cable/DVD/Netflix, etc. I have to say that I am a fan of Jason Segel from How I Met Your Mother and his other comedies, IE. Forgetting Sarah Marshall and I Love You Man. And I like Phyllis Smith from The Office. I have seen Segel and Diaz making the rounds promoting the film and it looked like a fun Friday night date movie. Lettermen was raving about it so I went to see it. I was praying to the movie gods to not this be another "Every funny thing in the movie was thrown into the trailer...but" SPOILER ALERT: It was and it wasn't funny at all. I wanted to like this movie I really did, but as one reviewer said, something just felt off, and it felt off for 92 minutes. I'm giving this a 3 rating b/c of the fact that had I not seen the trailer before hand those parts would have probably made me laugh. But in the theater where I watched the film there were LONG stretches of silence and very few laughs. In fact many times in the theater it was dead silence where thy writers seemed to put: PAUSE FOR LAUGHTER IN THE SCRIPT. The problem was there were none. If you want to see this movie now, re-watch the trailer and wait for the DVD. That is if you have an hour and half to kill one night. Remember it's an hour and half of your life you can't get back.
