A pretty funny film

Rating: 7/10 (27 June 2014)

This film has a really funny 1 hour film, however, there are some parts of this film where I believe that the creative run out of ideas for the other 30/40 minutes with filler stuff. The film documents an experienced drug dealer lose his stash and cash so his boss makes him travel to Mexico to get a stash for him, so to achieve this he sets up a fake family with a stripper, a runaway and a nerd to achieve this drug dealing mission. Now Jason Sudeikis is great as the lead and really carries this film with his great dialogue. The other members of the family are good and the chemistry between the four members of the family is really good and provides the core of this film. Now because it is a comedy some people believe that the story is not important but I disagree. This story is pretty cliché and outside of the great parts there is a few scenes in this film that are pretty useless and really are just there to pad out the films length. The script is obviously good even though I believe most of the dialogue is spontaneous so the script doesn't truly get too many positives. The style of the film is okay but quite cliché with the Mexican setting and just like the script doesn't really add to the film. Overall I enjoyed this film more then Tropic Thunder but not as much as This is the End and even though there are problems this is a funny film.
