This is by far one the most pathetic and under-achieving movies I have watched in some time. Natasha Richardson, Billy Bob Thornton, Patrick Swayze, and Charlize Theron play one of the dumbest foursomes I have ever seen in a movie. This was in no way their fault whatsoever. If anything I would have to give them some extra accolades for giving these characters any depth at all, seeing as how they were not given much to work with.
If these characters had woken up in Reno they would have in the least swapped mates and made themselves truly happy. I mean these are four of the most clueless characters I have ever seen. In some ways their backwoods, child-like behaviors make them a bit more appealing and humorous, but they learn nothing in this story - except whose best friend slept with who's husband/wife. After all the arguing and reactionary behavior ceases, its go to the monster truck rally, and then go home, where magically everyone kisses and makes up like nothing ever happened.
It's preposterous and so silly that it's painful. I did find myself waiting for the end to come, which when it did was completely unfulfilling. This movie is just a lame duck with a loaded cast. What a waste.
