Great Cast, Super forgettable film

I love the ensemble they've got. From Eddie Murphy to Ben Stiller, Casey Affleck, Gabourey Sidibe, Micheal Pena, Tea Leoni, Matthew Broderick & Alan Alda.

Like I love 'em all but I remember being really excited for a Ben Stiller & Eddie Murphy team up movie & then being SUPER disappointed with this film.

It's a mediocre comedy & just a meh heist film. Like it doesn't do anything special & it's not offensively bad. It's just forgettable.

Yesss. He was really trying in my opinion. But that script didn't do anyone any favors. I think they did the best with what they got. Which wasn't a lot.

Just like you, I genuinely forgot it even existed until the other night. I was just channel surfing & I found it. And yeah, even a decade later, it's still disappointing & a waste of a lot of good actors.

The writing just let them down
