The film is never really more than a series of loosely connected riffs and set pieces. That'd be fine except much of it is slack and airless; the laughs are many but they're too spread out -- a far cry from the series' heyday of taut, rapid-fire lunacy. Still, it's worth catching the film just for Sedaris' performance.

I was a huge fan of the show but this movie was a real letdown. All the good laughs were in the 1st 10 minutes and a lot of the jokes were retreads from the show. Amy Sedaris is still fabulous but this was not her crowning moment.

Fan of the series - but movie was really lame. It seems as if they took the original premise of the show, watered it down, spread it out and went home. Very dissapointing.
