Not funny

Rating: 1/10 (3 February 2007)

I am stunned by the lack of humor in this movie. There are more laughs in five minutes of Seinfeld or I Love Lucy than two Will Farrell films. No irony, the sight gags are lame and unoriginal and the plot is boring. The characters are not developed well enough to provide the viewer with enough involvement to get emotionally connected.
The set pieces (wreck, cougar, kids) are too poorly realized to provide a response.
Will Farrell's accent reveals his level of involvement. He cannot enter the role with enough conviction to pull it off.
The father is a bore and the training session is stupid rather than funny.
