what a cruddy movie, no redeeming characteristics at all. I knew it had colin farrell (of which I'd say I'm a moderately lukewarm fan of his although was more impressed after having seen "in bruges") and I guess that's why I was thinking this would be a better movie than it turned out to be. therefore I can't say it was a major letdown from my expectations but its current IMDb 7.x rating is about twice as high as it deserves to be.
I couldn't watch the whole thing, it was too unbearable. the guy from "hancock" I like and find humorous but the other two main characters seemed to be trying too hard to be cute/funny/goofy or something and didn't appeal to me at all since they couldn't pull it off.
** mild spoiler alert **
the story isn't just dumb, it's incongruously stupid and I find this sort of disconnect a big block to my temporary suspension of belief in order to enjoy what follows. think about it - 3 milquetoast/beta males that for purposes of the movie leap without effort to the conclusion that they must murder their bosses. 3 human beings will intentionally kill 3 other human beings - this from guys who wouldn't dare to throw away a parking ticket?? their bosses aren't mass murderers, aren't Satan incarnate, aren't child rapists, they just happen to be mean or uncaring people. yeah, they.must.die! /sarcasm.
I suppose I could've continued watching if I had otherwise found one of the characters entertaining or funny or more interesting than mayonnaise but I couldn't so didn't.
