Come on, it wasn't that bad!

Rating: 5/10 (22 June 2008)

On a rainy Sunday afternoon the theater was packed and folks were howling. Lighten up! I thought Justin Timberlake was a hoot and Stephen Colbert stole the show. Was it classic, rib-cracking comedy? No, but I certainly didn't want to blindly run screaming into traffic afterwards. Mediocre? Maybe, but not as dead-in-the-water as some viewers would have it. If you're looking for brilliant wit, rent The Big Lebowski or Noises Off with the late John Ritter. Or, watch any movie that involves Judd Apatow, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill and/or Paul Rudd... Wait a minute. Didn't "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" die a shockingly rapid death? Whoops.
