Unfunny. Ungood

Rating: 2/10 (30 April 2008)

Did you ever see a movie (like Knocked Up or Superbad) and then hear that the same writer or director or both was doing another movie--so you get all excited to go see it and when you get there it starts out pretty good but then can't decide what it wants to be and totally loses focus and in an effort to regain the story, it forgets to be funny? (DEEP BREATH)-- That's THIS movie.
John C Rielly is OK. Though he's better suited for a supporting character than a star. The songs are funny and the spoofs are OK--but the jokes just aren't funny. The side characters are actually pretty well done but the story itself just dies after about 10 minutes.
One scene of gratuitous male genital nudity could have been really funny, but wasn't. The whole thing about the monkey didn't really belong.
It was a pretty big disappointment----too bad. What a waste.
