One of the un-funniest "comedies" i hope you'll never have the misfortune of seeing, 27 December 2007
4/10
Author: marc from United States

Seeing so many big name actors in one movie had me fairly confident walking into the movie theater.

10 minutes in...the jokes got maybe a smile or two out of me, but it was going to get better, right? 30 minutes in...maybe a low-key laugh in the past 20 minutes.

Halfway through I was glancing up at the ceiling, looking under my chair, and peeking over my shoulder desperately searching for something interesting to watch.

You could almost see the actors on screen writhing in agony with you, almost like during filming they knew they were in one of the most terrible movies of 2005. I don't think I had ever seen a movie try to be funny and fail at it so bad. Although "trying" to be funny probably actually requires a sense of humor to begin with, but it was pretty evident the writers possessed nothing of the like.

Honestly one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Don't try and find out what all the commotion is about concerning this movie - avoid it at all costs, seriously.
