Awful, disjointed and scattered. - 3 of 10

I was really hoping that Jimmy Fallon would do well with a major role in a Farrelly Bros film, but I was disappointed with the results. I liked about 30% of Jimmy's dialogue; the rest was sophomoric and silly. I love joking around too, but "Wit is the salt of conversation, not the food." (Confucius?) Even if some of the one-liner jokes were funny, it was too much. So much so, that I had a really tough time seeing the romantic side of this story. The relationship did not fit very well in my book. I didn't believe Drew Barrymore's character either. She didn't fit or flesh out her job very well, in my opinion.

So, not having a believable story or romantic chemistry in a romantic comedy makes for a poor romantic comedy. That didn't come out quite right, but you get the gist. They missed the mark with this one.

Good baseball footage and a decent line here or there pumped it up from a one to a three in my book. Unfortunately, I can not give it any more than that. 3 of 10
