Self absorbed movie for the self absorbed

Rating: 2/10 (8 July 2015)

I will admit I was done after about an hour and walked out, not even caring enough to get a comp ticket for another film.
Is a movie that dwells on looking inside of yourself to find more of yourself what society really needs right now? Aren't we all a little too self-absorbed and a little too much of a production as it is? I don't get the premise, but whatever, if it is funny it is funny... but it isn't funny or cute or quality.
Amy Poehler is a bully dressed in pleasantries (as is becoming her typecast), the rest of the cast was much better but the writing was stiff and felt like a bad skit from SNL, the laughs are forced and you really don't care about much other than when it will be done. It tries to be smart and deep but sounds like that person you know who loves to recite facts and news without much else, and you find yourself with the blank half-smile stare you reserve for when JWs are at your door and you forgot to pretend you aren't home.
Don't get me wrong, I love animated film done right, I was impressed by "Wreck It Ralph" and "Up" where the voice acting along with the story and writing fit perfectly, this is nothing near those films. If you find "Tom and Jerry" type antics as the pinnacle of animated film, this is the film for you, if you are looking for something both with a strong story and characters and voices to match, skip it and don't believe the high rating.
