Unfunny and Unoriginal

Rating: 2/10 (18 October 2005)

After I didn't laugh in the first 30 minutes the only way I could get through the rest of the movie was to keep track of each time I laughed. I counted exactly one chuckle at a Vince Vaughn line. I have laughed more at commercials. I'm not sure why it wasn't funny but I have seen quite a few comedies in my 36 years and I guess it's just too close to about 100 movies since 1980 with the same plot. "oh we have to come up with a bunch of money in an impossibly short time span to beat the big corporate meany and we can do it if we win this tournament" So many movies with similar themes, Karate Kid, Breakin' 2 and on. The writer-director doesn't deserve a writing credit. It is just cut and paste out of several other movies.
