Love his movies, but not this one.

Rating: 5/10 (16 June 2008)

I absolutely love all of his movies but this one was extremely disappointing. It was underdeveloped and didn't have any of the smart writing, depth, plot and acting I have come to expect from his movies. I kept expecting it to get better and it never did. Even if you argue that it was a "stripped-down" movie, it still wasn't very good. Although I think Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Dechanel are pretty good actors, they weren't in this movie. I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be like that or the writing was just so bad they couldn't help but come off like that. I would just go ahead and wait to rent it and lower your expectations, a lot.
