Worst so-called Comedy I have ever seen... Terrible Movie, that just isn't funny.

Rating: 1/10 (17 September 2008)

I saw this film yesterday in a special preview screening and was shocked at how rubbish it was. It was probably the most unfunniest comedy I have ever seen and the entire audience didn't laugh either for most of the movie - no joke.
The jokes were totally lame, pre-school and badly written. The acting was actually terrible too (despite having so many celebrities in it).
The worst thing by far however, was the script - what on earth was Ben Stiller smoking when he wrote this??? It was just dire and painful to watch. It was devoid of any talent whatsoever - I cannot believe that Ben Stiller of all people, could have written something so completely unfunny. I actually used to think highly of Ben Stiller (he was brilliant in Meet the Parents) - not any more I can tell you. Even Steve Coogan was made completely unfunny in this movie, and he's normally hilarious.
I find it laughable that this film is being touted as amazingly funny by the media and destined for awards. It seems that a movie can be terrible, badly written, unfunny, completely talentless and still get praised highly only because of the A-list cast being in it.
A lot of the scenes were also very offensive to certain groups of people and totally unnecessary. Avoid this movie if you have sense or any intelligence whatsoever - have never left a cinema feeling so empty and unimpressed before. Everyone else I was with felt exactly the same and hated the movie more than I did. I love comedies, but this film just isn't funny at all.
