Surprisingly it's really good

The movie opened here today. Went with 3 friends, and we all loved it.
I was weary going to see it but it was really good.
There was a LOT of laughter from the audience and everybody seemed to enjoy it (Some even clapped a few times and quite a few clapped as the credits started rolling).

I am usually not into this type of movies but this one won me over.

There's one thing from the trailer that didn't make it into the movie and that's (spoiler)
Zack shouting "Help" into the tie -I may have just missed it

I don't remember laughing this much in a movie in quite some time.

I thought it was the best comedy of 2016 (not that there was a lot of competition).

Maybe it was the best comedy of 2016 since 2016 produced some of the worst movies in a given year that I can recall.

This movie was meh at best. Hamm was good even though I kept thinking of Don Draper, Fisher looked great in lingerie. Other than that, it was not very funny. It was very bland and adding Patton Oswald didn't add anything to the mix.

The only part I thought funny was Isla being dragged around bumping into walls and doors.

So much bad taste up in this thread.

Just watched this movie yesterday and thought it was a nice little amusing movie, not a huge laugh out loud type. It also didn't have continuous swearing or sex so could watch with older children. I haven't seen a real laugh out loud, can't catch your breath movie in years, but that could be my age!!

Movie was good and though not similar as "Spy" but was almost as funny. I am surprised to see such low rating especially given the amount of rubbish rated as 8 on imdb.

we laugh at this movie, and that's important

I thought it was really well cast for pretty much every role. Story might not be very original but the writing and timing made it great fun to watch.
