Watchable...... But only just!

Rating: 5/10 (2 November 2008)

It just goes to show you how good film editors really are because when I saw the trailer for this film I thought it looked really funny..... looks can be deceiving! I am one of those types of people that when a film is boring or just not that good I will usually watch it to the end just to see if it gets better, it annoys the hell out of my girlfriend because she would rather turn it off and put something else on! I almost turned this off after about and hour, it wasn't funny, it was boring and just plain stupid. It did get better towards the back end however when there was a bit more action a some better jokes but it didn't make up for the boringness that was the rest of the film.
Jack Black hardly did anything funny and didn't really do much to be honest. Robert Downey Jr was annoying and I could hardly understand a word he said for most of the time. The rest were OK and Stiller was just above average. The whole film seamed a bit slow, it felt like an eternity before anything funny was said and even then it wasn't that funny and would only of been funny to the sort of people that found South Park funny just because they swore, I'm a bit more mature and didn't find this funny (apart from one bit but I won't spoil it for you).
Overall it was watchable.... once, I could never watch it again and would definitely not buy it on DVD. Just wait while it comes out on Sky Movies or wait 'til a mate buys it and borrow it from him/her. It only gets a 5/10 because I have seen worse films that would occupy the 4/10, 3/10, etc spots!
