The movie doesn't have one genuine moment of imagination, good timing or comic inspiration.
Critics always run the risk of appearing to be snobs when they slam a silly comedy.
I think so. You're too conscious of all the heavy lifting involved to believe that anything has really taken flight. The cardinal rule for telling a joke is to get away from it as soon as it's out. It's funny enough when a TV newswoman announces that the mayor of New York has lowered the legal drinking age to 10. It's immediately less funny when a group of kids stagger out of a bar and one emits an endless stream of vomit.
