It is the very first film I ever walked out on, but then again, it's not really the movie I went to see. We only purchased the tickets to get a two for one special at the movies and it was the only one we could realistically buy tickets for by the time we got there. I didn't expect much really, but this film went way below what I even expected of it. I was cringing in my seat within minutes. Who financed this project? I actually found myself thinking about Barbra Streisand and her reaction to seeing this with the husband, wondering how in the world she would have allowed him to be in this God-awful film. It's cliche and crass with no redeeming qualities. Awful, awful, awful! This was the most horrid film I think I’ve ever seen in my life.

I saw it on my (paid) lunchbreak and still felt kind of ripped off. Just wasn't that funny; the theater was half-full and not an audible laugh to be heard. All of these (varying) levels of talent, wasted on such shoddy writing. 3 out of 10 stars Just back from an afternoon viewing. I saw it on my (paid) lunchbreak and still felt kind of ripped off.

I'm willing to give it a chance. I likely won't see it in theaters but I will watch it when it comes out on DVD It’s got Ken Jeong, David Koechner (I love his roles), Ed Helms (who has been hilarious in absolutely everything he has done, especially The Hangover and The Office), Rob Riggle, Jeremy Piven (who I rather enjoyed in Old School and Rocknrolla), and a small role from Will Ferrell.

I'm definitely going to give it a shot. I think I'm going to like it - the Ving Rhames line in the preview kills me every time.

But, being a sales guy myself (not used cars mind you) I thought it would at least be worth a watch. Maybe I'll save the $15 and just watch Glenngary Glenn Ross again.
