The most overrated movie of this year

Rating: 3/10 (29 September 2011)

7.3
That's an insane score for such a well below average comedy relying mainly on slapstick, crude and unfunny obscenity and painfully forced jokes to pull it through. All the characters were one dimensional and complete morons at that. Charlie Day basically plays his Charlie character from IASIP, but the Charlie from the very first episodes when he was still just a dim-witted loser and a fairly "normal" person. Now, I love IASIP and Charlie Day on that series but here it just doesn't work at all. None of the IASIP chemistry and outrageous yet hilarious humor is to be found here. His character doesn't work well on its own it seems. And the other two lead characters are just so badly drawn ones you never really get to rooting for them or even getting a sense of who they are. I guess everyone can relate to their hatred of their bosses so no real effort needed. And on the subject, the boss characters are just too much over the top, in this case with unfunny results.
Now throw in some rather racist stereotype jokes, which in their right environment could be funny if done in the tastefully crass ironically mocking style of say, South Park. But no, here they serve absolutely no comedic effect at all and just seem as crude and unnecessary as the film itself.
