Surprisingly entertaining


Didn't think much of this film, but found myself selecting it on Netflix streaming. I was pleasantly surprised.

Solid performances keep the thin story together. I'm not the biggest fan of Olivia Wilde, but she was great, even though the screenwriter and director could've done so much more with this character. They set you up for one thing and then simply decide to drop it.

And I love the scene where Olivia Wilde and Ashley Greene are making out, but Ashely, dear, you are gorgeous, but you cannot act.

The scene stealer of the film was Rob Courday. He usually comes off too aggressive, but here he was spot on as a kind, foster dad.

This movie was so funny. It's a parody of American values on both sides of the aisle. I'm starting to believe the Destiny character is a thinly veiled swipe at the President, but I could be wrong.

I gave it a chance on Netflix streaming as well. Movie was watchable but that is about it. Good acting all around, but the story dragged.

I enjoyed this film. It was quirky and smart with a strong cast and a lots of laughs.
