i'm planning on seeing it tonight and i'm wondering about the bad reviews. i really love the cast and i'm usually a fan of these types comedies although sometimes they can be a hit or miss. can anyone who's seen it give me their opinion? no spoilers please.
asphinctersayswhat?
This movie was THE worst movie I paid to see in 2011.
shareRight at the bottom of my 2011 movie list. Just terrible indeed.
shareI thought it was hilarious, but depends on your tastes. It's a cliched premise, some tired gags (baby poop) and you're not going to be fooled by the storyline/plot. That said if you liked Horrible Bosses, Hangover, Tropic Thunder, etc. you'll probably enjoy this one. Just a warning that it's pretty raunchy and might touch a nerve with some women (make that a lot of women).
shareI have to say this movie is really bad..
shareIt's uneven, but it has some funny lines.
Born when she kissed me, died when she left me, lived whilst she loved me
Pretty awful. I blame The Hangover, which, though funny, pushed the envelope, as they say, made comedies filmed in its wake have to outdo it. This happens every few years in the movies. American Pie made pie coitus all the rage. Many years ago, Animal House, also pretty good, caused a large wave of sophomoric movies. The Exorcist, Jaws, Smokey and the Bandit, and so on had similar effects. Why? Because in general the movie viewing public has little or no imagination. Rather than be challenged, we want to see the same things, the same jokes and the same thrills over and over, just as a small child wants to read the same picture book over and over, every night.
So yes, the comedy here is crude and unimaginative and, worst of all, not funny. Jason Bateman has done more and better work in any one minute of Arrested Development, and much the same is true of the other principals. Why would he or Ryan Reynolds agree to appear in such tripe? Beats me. The studio suits probably made the roles hard to turn down. The studio suits have just about insured that about 90 per cent of what is made today in the US is crap of this sort. The studio suits have no imagination, and they assume the same is true of us. Greed has ruined US film, just as it has ruined so many other things. So, for every Hangover, which is genuinely fresh and funny, we get twenty-five knock offs that try but fail to duplicate its humor.
"calm down and relax."
just wanted to share that slice of awful dialogue with everyone
THIS MOVIE IS HORRIBLE!!!!

It's not bad... at all.
Definitely worth checking out imo. It's a funny flick. :)
I was surprised how vulgar and crude the film was, thought it was going to be a different type of comedy, like a Wedding Crashers. Nonetheless it was hilarious in parts.
