Did you hate it for being unfunny? Or hate it for being unoriginal?

I thought it was cute when Maya Rudolph tried to sneak into the party the first 15 times. But after that?...give it a rest! How many times can an uninvited guest crash a party? And why the writers thought this was funny?
Or Bobby Moynahan trying to be funny every other scene. It didn't work.
Or Amy chickening out 25 times when she wanted to ask the guy out.
The same stuff kept happening over and over and over again.

The guy kept *trying* to be funny but he wasn't. That was the point. That he was annoying. I've (unfortunately) known people like that!

Sounds to me like your problem with the movie was the fact that it was a bit repetitive, not that it was "unoriginal" (because it wasn't. I thought the plot, itself, was original).

I thought the movie was okay. Not the funniest movie I've seen but not definitely not the most unenjoyable. I will say, though, that this movie could have done without Bobby Moynahan's character, which grated heavily on my nerves. He tried too hard and his character was unfunny (more obnoxious than anything).

Hope changes everything.

The movie suffered from the lazy apatow form of humour that is so popular now. Especially in trash like "the night before" and "Daddy's Home" where the pacing is atrocious and the same jokes and style of joke are repeated over and over again. Where no-one is relatable, and the characters say stuff like "well that's not how that should happen"-esque dialogue after every joke. It's just a crap film which is sad because Poehler and Fey are clearly trying and have great TV shows. But this didn't make me even smile once. It was corny and pandering

I think I would've expected something a bit more clever, than what we got, considering the writer (Paula Pell) also works writes for SNL.

I enjoyed the movie. It's just that I think it could've been a bit better -- without Bobby Moynihan.

Hope changes everything.

Bobby Moynahan was the best thing in the movie. His character was supposed to be annoying.

The important thing is that you hate.

I hate it for being unoriginal. More specifically, the sight gag where the audience is tricked into thinking that two rooms are actually one. It came from a 1984 Jackie Chan movie called Wheels on Meals.

Did you hate it for being unfunny? Or hate it for being unoriginal?

I remain indifferent to this one, on account of being among the 98% of the planet who was unaware of it's existence, prior to stumbling across the show's name on MovieChat

There was a sight gag ripped off from the opening sequence of Wheels on Meals.
