A very weak effort that is no better than most direct to DVD fare

Rating: 2/10 (4 June 2010)

Seriously I can see why Jonah Hill and Russell Brand took the paychecks for this movie but it is sorely missing the greatness of Jason Segel's writing. There is not much witty dialogue in this movie at all just Russell Brand being obnoxious which was fine in Forgetting Sarah Marshall but for 2 hours it gets annoying. I only gave it 2 stars because of course there are a few comedies that are far worse but this movie shows that Russell Brand can not carry a movie on his own. I would say Not Another Teen Movie was a better comedy than this movie. That is how far the writing sunk without Segel being involved. Wait for rental.
