It's hard to believe that the director who made the terrific "Groundhog Day" and the clever, and sometimes very funny "Analyze This" , along with the wonderful actor from "The Scout" and "Gods and Monsters" could have made this mess. Not one joke (there really is only one joke here, misstated wishes) works, and nothing plays out.
To make matters worse, there is the jaw-dropping performance by Ms. Hurley. Does she really think that bouncing up and down when she walks ( and even sometimes when she's supposed to be standing still) is funny or sexy?
It's really not Brendan Fraser's fault, and it's not the first time that he's been seen over-playing in a desperate attempt to make unfunny material work (see "dudley do-right" for a textbook example of desperation), but what was going on with Mr. Ramis? Did he just give up on the project at some point?
They should have burned this
