7 laughs in the entire thing...so bored I counted

Rating: 3/10 (3 April 2011)

Seldom have I watched a film that is so self-consciously (and desperately) trying to be funny and fail so dismally.
It is to comedy what Tarantino is to pulp drama --the adolescent imaginings of someone who really ought to get out more and mix with kids their own age. In a word -- Juvenile.
I laughed 7 times through the whole thing -- with the first laugh coming about mid-way. Had I not been watching it with a friend (who genuinely didn't think it was supposed to be a comedy) I would never have got that far.
Rosie Perez must've been desperate for a job to take this one.
As for the last scene being improvised? No surprise there. I'm only surprised they didn't just give themselves a round of applause at the end they were all so obviously delighted with themselves.
If you liked The Hangover and Due Date then you'll probably love this. Enough said.
