Reilly could have used some help

Rating: 5/10 (3 January 2008)

This movie reminds me of one of those numerous SNL spin off movies that tried to cash in on the unexpected success of the "Wayne's World" movies. The writing is weak, few characters are developed or bring much to the story. I found myself getting kind of bored several times during the film and often wondered if I was supposed to be laughing at certain skits. I am a big fan of John C. Reilly, always have been, but this film is lacking in high caliber talent elsewhere, most importantly in the direction, which was weak. There are some talented people in cameos, but they are simply not given enough to do. I wanted a "Talladega Nights" and I got that film with the SNL chick that played "Superstar."
