Average to poor!

Rating: 3/10 (4 May 2008)

Poor writing, obvious humour and "phone-in" performances leave this movie among the usual Will Ferrell (often Ben Stiller ) fare. I notice Stiller produced this 'nuff said!!
There is no wit originality or decent quality in this. Many recent American so-called comedy movies suffer from this sort of complacent conception. Take someone from Saturday Night Live (and don't get me started on that load of dung) that has been moderately successful and put them in a series of indifferent vehicles that will show off their very indifferent "talents". I keep trying them but am always disappointed. Talk about the triumph of hope over experience!! Please do not waste your time on this kind of movie. There are better comic actors around, more subtle writers and more involving stories to tell.
