Reviews
The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
