Funny comedy that doesn't feel like has people laughing in the background

Rating: 8/10 (9 January 2013)

I do not watch Family Guy, so I don't know what the maker of this film did before and I don't really care, either. This film, taken stand alone, was pretty entertaining. Now, that doesn't mean it was great, but for a Hollywood comedy to not suck is already way above average.
Besides, look at that amazing cast doing this film just because it was fun to do so: Mark Wahlberg (I love him), Mila Kunis (who doesn't love her?), Giovanni Ribisi (playing a really creepy guy), Patrick Warburton (who is always funny), Norah Jones, Sam J. Jones (Flash Gordon himself!), Tom Skerritt. And the narrator is Patrick Stewart!
The plot is rather silly and basic, but the script is good, with a lot of funny jokes and a light and careless feel. I enjoyed this film, and I was pretty sure I wouldn't. Glad I was wrong.
