Where Are the Laughs?

Rating: 1/10 (8 September 2005)

I watched this movie full of expectation having enjoyed Anchorman, Old School etc. but was totally let down!! Don't get me wrong - I wasn't expecting a 'highbrow' comedy, but this movie just wasn't at all funny - bar the odd amusement, such as the chest waxing scene which was perhaps due to the fact that the expression on Steve Carells face was real.
This movie would have perhaps been a lot more amusing had I consumed 8 pints of beer before entering the cinema - but I actually found it a chore to sit through the full 116mins of this film. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood, but a good comedy should be able to generate that mood, and having failed to do so, I can only conclude that this is not a good comedy...
