Starts big and quickly goes downhill...

Rating: 4/10 (2 July 2008)

When I saw previews for this movie, I was sure that it would be a good popcorn flick, if not the must see movie of the summer (second to TDK of course). Well long story short, I went to the matinée and I still felt like I overpaid.
This movie doesn't know what it wants to be- it's comedy/action for the first 45 minutes, drama for the next 40, and corny, gag me please garbage for the last 5.
The jokes fell flat and nobody in the theater knew what was supposed to be funny. The resolution was pretty lame as well. I hoped Jason Bateman could bring some humor to the story, as I am a big fan of Arrested Development, but he just doesn't have the tools or dialogue to do so here. Things start to get "serious" story-wise and the plot elements are so ridiculous all you can do is groan and roll your eyes.
Final Verdict : D
Don't go to it.
