watchable and enjoyable

Rating: 6/10 (26 December 2007)

but unlike Apatow's 40 Year Old Virgin the movie isn't a classic comedy.
John Reilly is good and enjoyed his performance. Maybe I was expecting more because of Apatow or because I really liked Kasdan's Orange County. But at the end of the movie I got up and walked out thinking, could have waited to see that on video.
In need of a few great laughs and some chuckles after a stressful holiday season? Dewey Cox can deliver but definitely doesn't live up to the writers and director's best work. If you haven't seen Orange County rent that instead, Jack Black will have you laughing till your gut hurts.
