I'm a big fan of Jason Bateman from his role on the brilliant TV show, Arrested Development, so I really wanted to like this movie. Unfortunately I couldn't bring myself to find anything enjoyable about it. The casting didn't work, particularily Ben Affleck, the jokes didn't work, and the overall Directing failed miserably. There were so many scenes that had such great potential for laughs, but just completely fell flat. I kept waiting for these scenes to deliver the punch line, but it never came. A big disappointment all around. I walked out after 45 minutes, and I was the third person to have done so...

As funny as this movie tries to be, it lacks the sense of fulfillment that is so much the mark of effective comedy. While some problems are "resolved" at the end, no sense of completeness attends any of those rounding out events. The absence of any goal of "final resolution" allows the writers a creative license that ultimately does them damage -- it frees them from focusing on the role of every skit in the overall ambitions of the production. As a result, the films amounts to a collection of quite funny moments that add up to nothing in particular. One leaves the theater with a generalized emptiness as a result.
