While the premise is interesting and the cast is populated with comic pros, the script is slim on truly funny situations or even good punchlines. Ferrell and Poehler work hard (and obviously improv a lot), but little of it lands. Director Andrew Jay Cohen has written some semi-successful comedies (most notably "Neighbors") and this first big-screen directorial effort has plenty of energy. Just little of it generates laffs. The millennials in the theatre seemed to enjoy it, but I found it silly and stupid.… Expand

Don't be hoping for this film to be one of the greatest they have ever pulled out because by view, you were only looking at its poster and/or trailer which otherwise looks better than the film itself.

There's probably a decent movie in there somewhere. It's completely forgettable. I forgot about it while I was watching it. A few funny moments but a waste of a lot talent.

This movie was not even the slightest bit funny. Complete waste of time and money. Don't bother going. I was shocked at how totally and completely awful this movie was.

Jesus this is bad, and I'm a WF lover. I went to this movie stoned and I still didn't laugh. Everyone I saw it with didn't laugh once.... like at all. I even laughed at "Get Hard" and all his other failures. This was so **** bland, and thereJesus this is bad, and I'm a WF lover. I went to this movie stoned and I still didn't laugh.

The only good thing about this film was Jason Mantzoukas - Amy Poehler was awful and pretty disgusting. Smiled / Smirked at one part. Terrible waste of time

I'll be short, three stars are given, because I laughed 3 times. Nothing more, the story is just boring and not entertaining. One of the worst comedy films of 2017 without doubts.

Will Ferrell can adopt the ridicule with easiness but sometimes it doesn't work, this film is a great example of it and to be honest, watching this huge failure I really see that a lot of people give Amy Poehler way too much credit as a comedian.

A lot of great comedians in this and yet woof. This is so slapdash there’s no way this wasn’t more than some contract obligation for most involved.

The fact that the main stars of this movie are well known comedies would give any viewer the notion that comedy will be part of it, unfortunately like all comedies no a days, its everything but funny.
