Carrell and his gang

Rating: 7/10 (9 July 2007)

This movie is really funny and although it runs long (even longer on the extended cut on DVD, which I haven't watched), it is funny and with the exception of a few little "bumps" in the story or drama, it works fine! Steve Carrell is very funny and believable. And he also shows us, that he can carry a movie as a lead. Of course his partners in crime are very well casted, too.
Some jokes are a bit childish, but they're played with so much gusto, from the cast, that you don't really mind. There's a particular scene, involving Carrell's character and his back. You could call it a "torture" scene, if you like! ;o) If you watch the movie, you'll know what I'm talking about. Recommended
