TIFF screening reaction

I think Rauch was the hooker Wilson tried to sleep with in the very beginning. But I totally agree on the movie. Not sure if it was just me because I kept seeing (surprisingly) positive reactions, but man, what was that? Awkward moments where you're not sure if you're supposed to laugh, dropped plotlines (Poehler wanting a baby?), random characters (Jenna Fischer?), and an overall feeling of a bad made-for-tv-movie.

Even in the Q+A after people were reaching trying to pull out metaphors and symbolism in the movie, but this was by no means Mad Men.

Amy Poehler was lovely at the screening though (seriously, the best).

I will actually go as far as to say the movie was awful. The jokes didn't work at all. There were countless times where the entire crowd was sort of giggling under their breath not really knowing whether that was supposed to be funny or not. At one or two points during the movie, my girlfriend leaned over and said "this is actually getting awkward"

Tons of scenes end and I was thinking to myself "what exactly was the point of that? was it supposed to be funny? Dramatic? Advance the plot? i'm not quite sure..."

The characters are unlikable. The story is a mess. It isn't funny. I didn't care for any characters. It was just a flat out bad movie IMO.

I went to the Saturday screening. Flat characters that were never properly developed and an uninteresting plot that left me completely bored by end of the film. The best part about the movie was that we got a free mug as we exited the theatre. Yes, really.

What's the story with people always complaining that comedies are too long? Are you hooked on sitcoms? If I pay ten bucks I want my 2 hours. If its good it can go 3.
