  I'm in shock on how hard it was to watch this movie.

  by Frijoles4u

  I had to create an account on Fandango just so I could comment on this Movie. I'm a pretty tolerant person. I've only walked out of one Movie before and that was Blair Witch Project. Let me tell you I walked out of this Movie sooner than the Blair Project. I love both of these Actors and can't understand why they would do a movie like this. I'm even embarrased to say I watched this movie.

  Funniest Movie I've Seen in a While

  by

  So, the plot is a little predictable - that much is true with almost any movie these days. Rarely, however, are comedies predictable and still hilarious. The last movie I found absolutely hilarious was "The Hangover." This is the same type. Great acting for what it is! Comedy comes out of NOWHERE for most of the movie which is the best part in my opinion. This is a great movie for anyone who works 8-5 and just needs to RELAX and LAUGH and start the weekend right. Take your coworkers or friends and go enjoy the night. I might even pay to see this again in theaters. What a great feeling when you laugh so hard you can't look up at the screen anymore because you're crouching in the fetal position. You haven't heard these jokes before and you'll be happy you did; you'll be trying to remember them all the way home. Enjoy!

  I hate saying no to this.....

  by lovestalentmoviefan

  ...because Roach,Carrell and in particular,Rudd,are always dependable,and can make anything funny..Not here...this script was for Schmucks,even the title should have been different. I got maybe 3 forced laughs and 1 genuine. Editing and pacing were totally off,material was very tepid for the most part.The crude lines were so random and non-cohesive with the rest of the script,that they got zero reaction from my audience. Rudd and Carrell tried really hard I think to make this work. It was a bad idea in the beginning to do this 'remake'. The artist and Rudd's secretary were particularly unamusing and just wrong. Everyone else in the cast is capable of far,far better...and I will not give up on them. You will feel like a fool if you spend any money here. I certainly did. I think people who like it are really young,or don't get out much. Really lame.

  Surprisingly bad considering the actors

  by guyinsaratoga

  I went in w/ fairly low expectations and they were not met. I am a big Steve Carell and Paul Rudd fan, so even though I thought the movie might not be great, I thought they could do something w/ it. I was wrong. It was really bad. I almost left the theater. It felt like most of the humor was falling flat. There were just a few funny moments, not nearly enough to make it worthwhile, and nothing laugh out loud funny.
  
  Disappointing, even w/ my low expectations.

  Garbage

  by The-Best

  Did the actors do this movie for free? The actors must have really needed the money to make a trashy movie like this!!!

  No Need For a Love Story

  by Skidoon

  Overall the movie was very funny! Steve Carell and Paul Rudd had great chemistry. However, the movie could of been about 45 minutes shorter if they would of ditched the love story plot.

  Smartly Hilarious

  Steve Carell?s comedic timing is exquisite and Paul Rudd is his perfect straight man. I laughed nearly all the way through the film and was wonderfully entertained.

  So-so

  by aamussi

  This movie had its funny moments thanks to Steve Carrell and Zac Galafanakis, but it didn't have me laughing on the edge of my seat like i thought it would. I still love Paul Rudd though!

  the first actually 'funny' movie in a long time

  by jenn998

  This movie is what you really call 'funny'...and so entertaining too...it was just hilarious...every scene...line...just off the wall funny...it was stupid funny- the kind of stuff you used to find in movies but what they don't make anymore....this was funnier than 'the hangover' which people claim was so funny...but this was better...every scene was just a riot, stupid, weird...steve carell was hilarious...the storyline was good too...and all the dinner scenarios and the last dinner....if you want a good laugh, good entertainment..this is the movie to go to...
  I wish they made more crazy off the wall funny movies like this these days

  What can I say??

  by airforce1engineer

  Well, every once in a while you get get suckered and I got suckered on this one! This movie was barely viewable from a comedy standpoint. The film took forever to get started and once it did, the only funny part was the scene in the Restaurant with the Swiss couple! It's no wonder why that was the clip they chose to use on the trailer, because it REALLY was about the only funny part of the movie. It's not to say there weren't chuckles now and then, but overall a very BIG disappointment!
  I gave Steve Carell the benefit of the doubt after I read some crappy reviews of this film because after all, it is Steve! Well, that was my first mistake! I should have listened to the reviews I read and waited for the DVD, but I didn't! Now I feel like a SCMUCK for even supporting the Film company for even making such a weak film! *SIGH*
