Don't bother with this

Rating: 5/10 (4 September 2011)

Alright, just bear in mind that I admire and respect Timberlake as a singer, musician and now comedian, his acting/jokes on Saturday Night Live are actually pretty funny, so I had high expectations for this film.
Unfortunately, I was disappointed. Timberlake's acting in this is weak, his jokes are not funny, and his character is just boring, which makes it a bit tedious to watch.
On the other hand, though she wasn't really that funny, Mila Kunis' acting seems to make up for her co-star's, as her performance is way more convincing, her character is light-hearted and spontaneous which was nice to watch .
The directing and editing of this wasn't good at all. The trailer leads one to believe that this is a hilarious film, and indeed I laughed at the jokes in the trailer. But whilst watching the film, there seemed to have been long pauses, which made the jokes not as witty or even funny. The trailer's editing is indeed much better than the actual film's. However, the jokes coming from Woody Harrelson and Patricia Clarkson were worth watching, and almost compensated for the lack of humour from the central characters, but I still wouldn't recommend this film to anyone.
