The previews were the funny part of the movie

Rating: 3/10 (28 November 2009)

Not the comedy I was hoping for. The movie just seemed to have a plot that seemed to be running in all directions. The flashbacks sometimes seemed good and then the movie went off in another direction. Sometimes funny, mostly not. This movie may be Clooney's Ishtar. He is funny but the movie plot is not. The poking fun of the military was sometimes funny but mostly not. There were places to make it funny that were missed completely. No funny stuff happened in the airport, or customs. More realistic military funny stuff could have been in the movie, any vet could have come up with 2 or 3 funny things that they have seen while serving. Even a military serving good food would have been funnier than what was shown.
