Ben Stiller plays a wimp.

Rating: Null/10 (24 April 2005)

The entire idea that Ben Stiller's character has to be afraid isn't funny and wears thin very quickly. His character is such a wimp and is concerned about pleasing everyone so badly, he ends up doing really foolish things. Not funny, just foolish. I can't understand why Robert De Niro accepted a part in this movie. Robert De Niro is such a great actor, and this is almost a silly kids movie. Ben Stiller's character in constant fear of, well, nothing is a bad plot concept. The idea that he would allow his future father-in-law to connect him to a lie detector and answer questions just shows how truly wimpy he comes across. His love interest, is also one-dimensional. If nothing else is on cable, and you are smart enough not to waste your time watching sports, this movie might mildly entertain you.
