User Reviews

What was that?

I was hoping for comedy, action, or drama but it was just really basic. I'm a 46 year old so maybe this was for a 12 year old target audience? I needed entertainment. The movie started out as a over the top mockery of the average guy, which was good. After 10 minutes it was stale and unexciting. The lines for the actors were terrible . Really really really bad writing here without much the actors could salvage.
