Should of kept it a secret!

Rating: 1/10 (27 December 2013)

I am a Big Ben Stiller fan , so was very excited to see this film. I have liked everything he's ever done. Until this! Pretty early on its established that there was confusion on what genre this film should take, comedy, drama or romance. It does them all but very poorly, it struggled to stick to a cohesive plot and finds itself struggling for direction.
Stiller is great in his role and I can't fault his acting, the effects were cool and the idea was fun , but by the end I was left thinking it was stupid and frankly pointless. Bridesmaids was a great film but sooner people see Kristen Wiig can't act the better, she's funny as a back up but is so emotionless it's hard to see what the directors see in her.
I wanted to stay to the end and I managed it, it's a pointless big budget flop which achieves nothing in 114 minutes. It's neither inspiring or entertaining. Comedy actors should stick to comedy films, Adam Scott who is normally hilarious was awkward, unfunny and had the worst fake beard I'd ever seen. It's clear directors are getting lazier and less imaginative but rely more on over complicating a silly film to make people confused. People need to realise confusing doesn't mean deep or intelligent, it's a film which is flawed!.
A poor film, a bad end to 2013 along with walking with dinosaurs! I hope 2014 raises the bar again and puts at least 1 film which will amaze.
