When I first saw this, I thought it was just bad. And then as more time went by it went from bad, to awful, to horrible, to insulting. I found all the jokes obvious, unfunny, unoriginal and just plain bad. The only exception was Steve Carell's delivery of the nonsense that bruce made him spew (as if you couldn't see that coming). I got the feeling that this movie was made in a bad movie factory. Just press the button and out comes the movie- Bzzzt! shallow hal. Bzzzt! bruce almighty. Bzzzt! bad santa Bzzzt! speed. Bzzt anything with vin diesel. And so on and so on, it's a busy factory. Last year I remember around Emmy time people were wondering why the academy never takes comedies seriously (on behalf of Lost in Translation). I think this might be your answer; it's the crap they can just shovel out. Just come up with a semi or totally unoriginal plot and a few predictable jokes and there you have it *poof* a movie. If you're considering watching this movie I have a suggestion: Stare at a clock for 101 min. and thank bruce you didn't wast your time being insulted by Hollywood. Again.
