unfunny and tedious

Rating: 1/10 (23 October 2006)

What a disappointment!
This film seemed to be trying to copy 'cutting edge' comedy but the direction and the script was sloppy, sickly and sentimental in the worst film tradition. Jack Black's acting/role was self-indulgent and self-regarding... and the other characters were equally unmasking and uninteresting. The soundtrack was tedious. We are ( WERE) fans of Black but none of us did more than mange a forced titter for the duration. Why did he feel he needed to make this mistake?
We will not watch another of his films without reading reviews more carefully first!!
Was he drunk when he read the script before signing up for this drivel?
