Overall, I think this movie is over hyped, by the critics and the users. Now, I didn't go into it with super high expectations. After seeing it though, I have to say overall that it doesn't stand up to to the 70's rating and Overall, I think this movie is over hyped, by the critics and the users. Now, I didn't go into it with super high expectations. After seeing it though, I have to say overall that it doesn't stand up to to the 70's rating and the 9's, and 10's people are giving it. Paul Rudd is a great actor, in my opinion, but in this movie he comes off with the awkward humor but it seems a little forced at times. Overall, I got a few laughs, but the gags are kind of predictable. Jason Segel is doing his typical brand of comedy. The one thing that makes it all come off without a hitch is that, you can relate to all the characters. All of them seem believable. Overall, a just moderately entertaining movie.… Expand

The humor is very reserved, clearly trying cater to a wide audience. There a couple good jokes but for the most part, the film feels painfully awkward, like watching a high school play. I watched this film based on the metacritic scores and felt totally betrayed. Generally for comedy flicks, wide critical acclaim is a bad thing because there are a lot of people in the world with no sense of humor or at least a very boring one. Chose your comedies by looking at who was involved in making it, whether the main characters are comedians you find funny, and look for something scoring between 50 and 60.

I give this film a 5 out of 10 because everything about it feels phoned in, and lacking in effort. Boring main character, boring supporting actor, boring movie. The only funny people in this film are Jane Curtin and J. K. Simmons.… Expand

This is by no means a bad movie, it is however a cringe-fest. It's hard to watch sometimes because the Peter Klavin character is so socially awkward. I can see the funy side of most of the things he says but I have this overwhelming This is by no means a bad movie, it is however a cringe-fest. It's hard to watch sometimes because the Peter Klavin character is so socially awkward. I can see the funy side of most of the things he says but I have this overwhelming pity that is just unsettling. I have definately seen better movies and had Peter and Sydney been mates from day one then this may have struck more of a camaraderie string with me, and thus been one of thise better movies. Saying this, I went with my Girlfriend and she really enjoyed it. Afterwards she gave it a 10 and said it was one of the best films she's seen in a long time (this being someone who thinks Confessions of a Shoppaholic is a 10!!). Things brings me to the conclusion that fellas may find this moderately funny but women will pee their pants and thus, this is a "Buddy movie" for chics!!… Expand

I'm surprised by the meta-score. This movie has a couple of good gags and Paul Rudd is a fantastic actor. But the story's shaky and it's not wall-to-wall laughs by any means.

Some decent laughs. I'd prefer to have my money back that to have watched the movie.

I thought it was ok but the long run time ruined it. While it featured more then a few hilarious moments, The run time made the film more then dull in quite a few parts and streched it out longer then it had to be. The cast was solid too.
