Not to all tastes

Rating: 5/10 (17 April 2010)

From the beginning, I kept getting the feeling that the movie's story and laughs were due to kick in any minute, right around the corner, about to happen in the next scene. This never happened.
I did manage to force a laugh once or twice and the plot kept me interested to watch to the end but it was a bit of a chore. The only character with any depth and realism was the dentist. The other lead actors did not have enough substance, in order to draw humour out of the situations they were planted in.
I think this is a brand of American humour which is not to my taste, though I can see why it would appeal to some other tastes. It's very much about exchanges of 1-liner insults, so if you find this funny, the movie will probably appeal. South Park come to mind as a similar genre and perhaps, going back a while, movies like Caddyshack or Smokey and the Bandit.
For me, disappointing.
