Waste of time. The characters were lame, plot was cliche and it really wasn't very comedic. If you want to watch a douche white guy, dildo about on unbelievable and unfunny hijinks with an unamusing sidekick, this is your movie.
Stars: ★★☆☆☆
Full Review
**SPOILER ALERT**
Want the entire story? Hi, I'm a nice guy. Insert ludicrous moronic character to gum up the works yet who has an underlying redeemable quality. My overly hot girl leaves me. Now said moron and I go on implausible adventures in a very short time span. Everything works out in the end. Hooray.
I've seen this before. Now I'm not upset at Hollywood regurgitating the same plots over and over. I knew this was the case from the get go. I just require new twists or interesting takes on the concept and of course for it to be done well. This was just… blah. All the B-list comedians slipped into the mix of this movie didn't help either. It wasn't the secondary actors faults though. Galifianakis and Clement did well in their roles. The poop factor lies with Steve Carell and Paul Rudd.
Steve Carell's character wasn't amusing or endearing at all. He didn't hit the mark on the dumb yet lovable guy. It all seemed really forced. Plus, the dead mice thing wasn't cute, it was creepy. He was Norman Bates who just hasn't stepped up his game yet.
The biggest chunk of undigested ick in this bucket of vomit was Paul Rudd. All he ever plays is the stereotypical tool white guy with lame one liners who makes everyone uncomfortable. The guy that you can't wait to get away from at work and avoid if seen in the real world because he's a soulless, suburbanite, white-collar clone? He's now typecast himself into this role and it's beyond the getting old point. I can handle him in small doses as a supporting douche but definitely not the lead. Who enjoys being uncomfortable for two hours? I don't.
