The Brothers Farrelly without inspiration are just as mediocre as anything else from the Hollywood boredom factory. This picture compares with Shallow Hall in that if one laughs a couple of times, it's a lot. The kind of comedy they work on, needs a lot of crudity and outrageousness. Well, the viewers that dare to pay to see this inane attempt at comedy won't find it here.
The best thing going for this movie is Meryl Streep in her brief appearance. Matt Damon and Gregg Kinnear are just wasted. The idea of this odd couple might have sounded very funny when these two were pitching the film, but on the screen it falls flat. The ones that bought the idea might have had too much Pellegrino with lunch, or was it something in the brownies they had for dessert?
What are they trying to say? There's no place like home? Togetherness is the best thing that could happen between siblings? It's just an idiotic idea, and judging by the audience reaction at the screening I attended, it will be a miracle if it lasts a couple of weeks when better films will be released.
I have an answer to the question "What's a four letter word for snatch?" SUCK (as it's the case of this film)
