89 minutes too long

Rating: 4/10 (19 March 2010)

Wow. How did this possibly get 6.5/10 from IMDb users? I generally concur with the majority of ratings, give or take, so when I saw it had gotten 6.5 I thought, "Hey, I'll probably like it". On top of that, to have such a cast made me think it had to be a winner.
I couldn't have been more wrong. Apart from a few chuckle-worthy moments, this film had virtually nothing to offer. I am willing to admit there might have been some deep underlying truth that I just didn't see through the zany humour and lack of real plot, not to mention a terrible script, but I'm very doubtful.
The only redeeming characteristic for me was Jeff Bridge's performance, hence the 4 rather than a lower number. I have very rarely before been so bored and disappointed at a movie that not only had such a stellar cast but also such a quirky and interesting premise. Highly un-recommended.
