Disappointing comedy squanders potential

Rating: Null/10 (18 December 2001)

My guess is that people who love this film laugh at comedies because they know that they are supposed to be funny. It has its moments, but lacks. DeNiro is about as scary as a bag of bunnies. Why Stiller outappeals Wilson is unexplained. Why Stiller hangs around DeNiro after suffering the worst insults is sitcom crud writing, dragging out the story. An obvious attempt to ride on SOMETHING ABOUT MARY's coattails.
