Maybe I just don't get it.....

Rating: 1/10 (17 January 2010)

After hearing all of the hype about this movie, I couldn't wait to see it. To hear a movie being touted as the "best reviewed comedy of the year", I was expecting a whole lot more than what I got. I have actually watched this movie more than once to see if maybe I had just missed something. I will admit, there were a few funny moments, but when I hear people say they "laughed through the whole movie", it truly confuses me. I like to think of myself as someone who definitely has a great sense of humor and I truly appreciate many forms of comedy. I loved Old School, (also by Todd Phillips) but I don't see that this movie can even hold a candle to that flick. I found Ed Helms' acting to be horrible and I actually found his character annoying. Many of the jokes just fell flat. I really wanted to LOVE this movie, but that is not the case. It's not ALL bad... just not what I was hoping for.
