Ben Stiller. Naomi Watts. What's not to like? Well...all of it.
I walked out of this thing about halfway through. Can't remember the last time I did that. Got popcorn. Returned 'cuz my wife wanted to finish it. If she had not stayed or I was alone, I'd have kept going, not bothering with the popcorn.
This attempt at a comedy just fails. Primarily from a lack of believability of the premise. Acting was OK, but no more. Best thing was Chuck Grodin playing his laconic self. Faint praise indeed.
Story: slow, predictable, characters don't connect as interesting, unfunny.
IMO: Stinker

Eh, I dunno.
I kind of liked Walter Mitty.
And loved Zoolander. Liked Dodgeball. Liked Tropic Thunder. He was awesome as Tony Wonder in Arrested Development. Meet the Parents was good (sequels, not so much). Was great in Tennenbaums. Liked him in Reality Bites and Something About Mary.
Sure, he's made some trash, but a lot of solid actors have.
Shouldn't this thread be moved to the main hoops page given Ben Stiller's wife used to date Billy McCaffrey?
