I was very impressed with this movie, but I've got a couple of gripes.
I really, really wish that the movie focused more on the Jims themselves instead of where they live. Most of the scenes where he traveled TO the different people named Jim were far, far too short and didn't tell us anything about them as a person other than "original Jim gets along really well with everyone".
For example, the meeting with Scottish Jim. They meet, speak for about two minutes, then it's off to sight see. For the rest of the Scotland scene, they are simply making fun of driving on the opposite side of the road, roundabouts, haggis, kilts and bagpipes, and how Jim from L.A. is bad at all of them. I learned nothing about Jim from Scotland except that he had the same name as Jim from L.A. - which would be fine, but the entire point of the movie is to learn about the people named Jim Killeen, and that was lacking.
The same thing happened with most of the other Jims as well. Jim from Denver was simply a short scene with a bit of gambling and a couple shots from the Swinger's party. Jim from Australia was penis and kangaroo jokes, then a football game.
Overall, the movie was decent. It wasn't the best, but it wasn't awful. It's definitely worth a watch, but don't expect this to be about the Jims as people like it tries to present itself.
