29 | the plot is nothing but boilerplate clich茅s from start to finish , |
30 | the action is stilted |
31 | on all cylinders |
32 | will find little of interest in this film , which is often preachy and poorly acted |
33 | by far the worst movie of the year |
34 | sit through , |
35 | more than another `` best man '' clone by weaving a theme throughout this funny film |
36 | it 's about issues most adults have to face in marriage and i think that 's what i liked about it -- the real issues tucked between the silly and crude storyline |

59 | far less sophisticated and |
60 | rich veins of funny stuff in this movie |
61 | no apparent joy |
62 | shot on ugly digital video |
63 | ... a sour little movie at its core ; an exploration of the emptiness that underlay the relentless gaiety of the 1920 's ... the film 's ending has a `` what was it all for ? '' |
64 | though ford and neeson capably hold our interest , but its just not a thrilling movie |
65 | is pretty damned funny . |
66 | we never feel anything for these characters |
67 | 's a lousy one at that |
