I really wanted to like this, but it's just not : ya exactly! not good, not well written, not funny, not well acted, not well directed, oh but the PVs are good. Yah do theres that, looks like Netflix put some decent coin into it. Dont get me wrong, it's adequate and average and it's not poorly written its just not cleverly written, it's too cutesy for effect and its trying to cover every base and hit all the right notes, and it's lacking. Also I think in general, a good rule of thumb as well as what I've noticed is a good indicator of mediocrity, is not to cast one's spose in the film. Yes tis true, I harbor an extreme dislike for Sudekis (he's just oh so cool and needs everyone to know it) but that's not why seeing him in this is disheartening but whatever, that's personal preference - the rest is what I feel to be fair and objective, and boy oh boy, I have a vast, VAST repertoire to have learned from

We did not leave this movie but I wish that we had. While there were several strong performances the movie was trite and there were very few laughs. Had it been a simplistic story that did not engage emotionally paired with a lot of goofy humor I would understand why some enjoyed it. And of course, few laughs plus a genuine and clever story would have worked as well. This movie delivers neither. It was both tiresome and tiring.

Watched it hoping it would be really funny but was disappointed.There weren't a lot of funny things.It started off pretty slow with mild jokes that don't make sense.Ending was the best part because it was finally over & I could leave.
