A moderately funny comedy that delivers on the expectation of a few easy laughs, this Steve Carell's vehicle is mildly satisfying.The worst I can really say about this movie is that the whole outcome is totally predictable, but you know that as soon as you read the movie's title.
Speaking with Vittorio after I saw it, he told me that he barely laughed at all because he had already seen most of the funniest jokes in the movie's trailer, which I religiously avoid watching precisely for that reason.
Carell has clearly found mainstream success with this movie, allowing him to join current comedic powerhouses as Jim Carrey and Will Ferrell.
The rest of the cast was ok, although I've seen Catherine Keener in other films and she's totally wasted here.
All considered a very forgettable movie, but enjoyable the first time around.
Grade: 6
