DISAPPOINTING as a comedy, OK as a drama/comedy.

Rating: 2/10 (26 November 2011)

Let's start this off by saying, I think Maya Rudolph is a fantastic actress and have loved her forever. That said....this movie was so criminally mismarketed that I can't believe anybody walked out thinking they got what they walked in to see. This film is a very touchy feely personal journey piece, not the gut busting laugh out loud comedy that was in the trailers. Had I gone in expecting a drama/comedy, then I would have been OK, not thrilled, but OK with the movie. Throw in that Melissa McCarthy was beyond awkward in most of her scenes... can't believe she is the same actress that is great in Mike and Molly. Overall, just a very disappointing comedy that left me wishing I had skipped it on the video shelf.
