Lame offensive drivel

Rating: 4/10 (29 April 2020)

This is actually a decent concept for a comedy, but like so many other mainstream Hollywood films this century, it falls painfully short. The three main characters are borderline tropes and Charlie Day is particularly atrocious, overcooking every line. Jennifer Aniston's character is completely over the top and the sexual abuse gender reversal dynamic is a horrific miscalculation by the writers. People being upset with this theme is not a a case of political correctness gone mad, it is a rational reaction to a distasteful and unacceptable part of the movie.
This is a film that tries to be dark and edgy but is still just predictable formulaic vulgarity. It's a huge shame to see talented actors like Kevin Spacey, Jamie Foxx and Jason Bateman drawn into these lowbrow films as they are all capable of so much more.
