Review:
Tim: I was actually (surprisingly) looking forward to this movie. Why, I'm not exactly sure. It is absolutely terrible. I found nothing funny at all- nothing. This is one of the saddest, dumbest "comedies" I've seen. It had a great concept, but it completely falls apart. It is borderline worthless.
The cast is disappointing. Dan Fogler did not make a very good leading man. I didn't enjoy a second of his screen time. Christopher Walken is given the opportunity to really ham it up. He does this with gusto, but he's not very entertaining at all. George Lopez is ridiculous and worthless as usual. Maggie Q was perhaps the best in the cast, which is saying something, because I'm generally not a fan of her at all.
My favorite part of the movie is comprised of one line, said by Patton Oswalt as he is licking a trophy. He says, "MMmmMMM... tastes good..." That was the highlight of the movie for me. How sad is that?
This is just a completely stupid movie that is almost completely worthless. It is not funny, and I highly recommend running away. Please don't waste your time on garbage like this.
