Viewing Notes
Romantic comedies and I don’t really get along very well to begin with, so maybe I had a bias against this movie from the start.
Still, it had Steve Carell and Tina Fey in it, so I was hoping for good things.
Unfortunately, it just wasn’t funny. There were some chuckles here and there, but really, Romancing The Stone and True Lies did this schtick better.
Where this really falls down for me though, is that it just lampoons its intended audience. It’s akin to the idiotic beer commercials that make fun of young males. Don’t sell me something by calling me an idiot. And don’t mock the fact that I’m sitting on my couch with my wife watching your shitty movie about a married couple who never go out and when they do it ends in disaster.
