Featured review
Lame, Unfunny and Disappointing.
So many talented performers and such potential. All wasted. All of the humor is juvenal and odd, but not odd in a funny way, just odd. The writing is awful and there is nothing clever, just one lame gag after another. I'm a big fan of Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly but not enough to like this unfunny mess.
