How the hell did any of these people lower themselves to star in such a ugly, mean-spirited and surprisingly depressing piece of crap? I mean seriously, we have Vince Vaughan, Kevin James, Winona Ryder, Channing Tatum, Queen Latifah, even Oscar winners Jennifer Connelly and Ron Howard. Ron Howard, director of Cucoon! Don't think that Vaughan is innocent too, having produced it too. So what is this horrible thing about? Ronny (Vaughan) sees his best friend's wife cheating on him with some unbelievably stupid hunk played by the genuinely good Channing Tatum. He wonders whether to tell his best friend. And the rest of the film is a vomitorium of horrific standard, with forced joke after forced joke. We wonder how these characters can be this commendably dumb. In the cinema, I wanted to yell at the screen out of absolute rage by the fact that all these people, all with considerable talent, could put themselves into such a poorly written dramedy. Oh, what's that now? Who was it written by? Oh yes, Allen Loeb, writer of the equally revolting Adam Sandler vanity project Just Go With It. The piece de resistance is a dull monologue on honesty that feels like it goes on for hours while Connelly and Ryder don't do anything. With horribly racist stereotypes, and some of the worst exposition ever in a film, this is a horrible film.1/5
