Call me simpleton but I enjoyed this movie. It got me laughing almost from the get go, and while at first I felt the actors were almost reading lines the whole thing got eventually better.
It is, overall, not a bad movie, but it does run a bit longer than it should. 20 minutes shorter would have made it not perfect, but somehow better.
Naturally this is comedy, it is not the real world, and sometimes the characters react to situations in a way I do not believe any man alive would. This, and the lack of utilization of the rest of the cast, with very capable comedians such as J.B. Smoove doing his "Curb your Enthusiasm" character, or Steve Merchant (The Ricky Gervais Show), made this move lose a better chance of success.
But it is entertaining, and there is some truth to it. So watch it on a slow Wednesday and you will enjoy it.
