I love rob Schneider but this film really did fail to deliver. It took a good 30minutes for the first chuckle to arrive but this was unfortunately already too late; with the rest of the film feeling like a confused mix of adult drama and philosophical fantasy. The undertones of climate change brought the film down... not to mention the addition of his fathers suicide. This did give some depth to the story but unfortunately this did more to bring the film down and confuse things. In all after the first 20 minutes your following the progress of rob dealing with his low sales as a car salesman, an alcoholic son and brother, 'the chosen one' of a tribe from Columbia, beat down dumped husband of a wife who left him for a yoga teacher and love interest to the Columbians escort and interpreter AND YE he also witnessed his fathers hanging from his garage. One of the more light hearted scenes of the film... :P

I may well be the wrong person for this film and I'm sure this film will appeal to many people. I'm also not sure what dynamic this film is aimed for...Many of the jokes may have gotten lost over the Atlantic and will be more suited for a U.S audience.

Rob Schneider however played the role very very convincingly indeed, Shame about the story.

Not for me.
