Very average. An over reliance on crude humour in much the same way as Hot Tub Time Machine.


My quest for a funny comedy continues...

Me too; I had had a heavy day at work so it was light relief and quite enjoyed it was a bit cringeworthy crude at times.

Didn't see you last night or I would have said hello. You need to be sorting out the staff so I recognise you ;)

I actually quite enjoyed this, it was not as bad as I expected. I always feel Owen Wilson tries too hard to be funny and it is really annoying, but in this film, he actually plays his character quite straight and as a result, for me, much easier to watch, and it was his friend character that was annoying this time. The story was quite heartwarming, and I liked the ending, until they showed that last bit, which I thought totally spoilt it! I also did not think it was that crude, except for when he was rescued from the jacuzzi. All in all, felt it was a film for the men. Cineworld Shaftesbury Avenue was quite empty and it was nice to sit with mcm and her OH. 7/10

Film was okish as far as my teenage daughter was concerned and she thoroughly enjoyed it. I on the other hand was obviously not the demographic that it was aimed at! There were a few bits that were funny, but still not really my cuppa tea! Still it was an excuse for me to go to the movies with my girly, and it was a freebie on a cold wintery night, so not all bad....

About 60% full in Cardiff. Not the best film in the world, a few eeeuuu laughs and[spoiler]mens' bits - 8O[/spoiler] I didn't find any of the characters in the film likable really. For me a so so performance, a poor older mens A/Pie 4/5

I saw this last night at Milton Keynes. Only about half full. I thought that it was the worst film that I had seen so far this year. My 90 year old mother loved it though. She giggled thoughout most of the film!!
