User Reviews

Average

I will get down to it. This movie was another average film that Hollywood has made.

It focuses around a man and his lifelong struggle with his neighbor; pretty random plot.

Another thing that was uninteresting is how long the film felt, regarding some scenes, which just seemed to go on and on and on, really giving me a yawn.

Somehow In knew this was only inevitable with Neal Miller taking the director's seat. My rating out of ten of this film is a five, because even tedious it can be a little funny.
