An average movie

To be honest, I was at first rather intrigued by this flick. Indeed, with such a concept and, above all, with such a cast (Ben Stiller, Hank Azaria, William H. Macy, Janeane Garofalo, Paul Reubens, Wes Studi, Greg Kinnear, Geoffrey Rush, Lena Olin, Eddie Izzard, Pras, Claire Forlani, Tom Waits), it could have been pretty awesome or, at least, decent. Unfortunately , I thought the whole thing was rather lame. I mean, there were here and there some good ideas and a few funny jokes but, a part from that, there was nothing much going on here. In my opinion, the main issue was that none of the characters were remotely interesting, and were, at best, just slightly funny. As a result, I didn't care about those characters and, to make things even worse, the plot was nothing great either and really generic. Basically, I was pretty much bored during the whole thing. On the positive side, there were some pretty awesome actors at work here but that’s probably the only positive thing I can tell you about this flick. To conclude, there are still worse ways to spend your time but, in my opinion, it remains a rather weak comedy and it is not really worth a look.
