No wonder this crap has a high IMDb rating...

Rating: Null/10 (7 October 2007)

Wilson and Vaughn are hardly comedic heavy-weights to carry a comedy on their shoulders, especially one based on a forgettable script. Besides, they don't have that much charisma. And Ferrell fails again to be funny. (Why is there so much hype regarding this guy?) To make things worse, there is plenty of totally absurd, dull sentimentality, especially in the second half. All these semi-cartoon characters are established early on - and we are supposed to take them seriously later on?? You can't have your cake and eat it, too. A screwball comedy AND a romantic drama. Come on...
Christopher Walken is the only high-quality actor in this average cast, but his role is too small to make a difference. The movie has no funny moments; it is merely somewhat interesting to watch, at least until the inevitable moment when things start getting too predictable and soppy i.e. formulaic. And the movie lasts nearly two hours: FAR too long for a (mostly dull) comedy.
