Very disappointed

Rating: 4/10 (30 December 2013)

Saw the trailer for this movie a while ago and couldn't wait til the movie came out. Quite possibly the best trailer ever. Sadly, the movie as a whole does not work. What a waste of Sean Penn. Why is Shirley MacLaine even here? Does she need the money? The sister, who I liked in "We're the Miller's" is not right for this role. Failures include Adam Scott, Papa John's, the whole piano thing, the clues from the negatives, the shark scene, the Grease thing, product placement, the wallet, and on and on and on....About the only things that kinda worked was the guy from "King of Queens" getting a few laughs, and of course the incredible views of Greenland, Iceland, and the Himalayas. WOW........ I read the background story of the movie and the problems with production. With all the time they had to produce this movie, this was the best script they could come up with? It's like cracking a tough nut and there's nothing there. Hollow. The effort is not worth it. This movie is supposedly about "feel". It's like a major tagline of the movie. Yet in truth it makes you feel nothing. There is no reward in the end. Sorry Stiller. I like you but you blew it.
