Pathetic

Rating: 2/10 (1 April 2006)

Dreadful 'sex' comedy that only the most repressed among us could find shocking. It's like being stuck on a bus with a bunch of fourteen year-olds. The plot makes no sense (they come after hours to play cards at the Best Buy-like electronics store where they work? And there are no security guards?) and the tone is set right at the top by a simple-minded sight-gag having to do with a morning erection. This is followed by Steve Carrel having trouble peeing, which is an OK idea till one remembers that you can't pee with an erection. That's the reason we have them in the morning. And so on. I only lasted about 20 minutes before the witlessness got too much for me. To judge from this, Steve Carrel doesn't have a funny bone in his body.
Compare this amateurish bilge with a real sex comedy like The Closet and you'll see what's missing. Talent.
