What happened to the Farrelly Brothers? Following their success with ‘Dumb & Dumber’, they became pretty much the kings of the Raunchy comedy but it has been a while since they got a real hit. Anyway, it is not with such an underwhelming remake that they will make a come-back anytime soon, that’s for sure. I mean, I do believe that Ben Stiller is a decent actor and sometimes he can be really hilarious. For this movie, he did his usual awkward unlucky guy which was but a little bit overdone by now. Anyway, even though there were some bits here and there which were fairly amusing, most of it was rather tedious, I’m afraid, and even pretty lame at some points. The most difficult thing to swallow was the really sudden change of behavior displayed by Malin Akerman. I mean, I’ll give you that, she is a pretty girl but she wasn’t really convincing here and, as a result, the whole premise pretty much fell apart. Anyway, to conclude, even though I didn’t care much for the whole thing, I still think it was a decent watch and if you are fan of the Farelly brothers, I guess it is worth a look.
