Notes:
*I didn't know anything about this until the trailer came out.
*All I knew is that it looked pretty dang funny.
*I also figured it was going to have some silly adult humor (which of course it did).
*I wasn't sure about Jillian Bell though as I generally find her annoying.
*This is the first time I have heard of the director Richie Keen who has a few films under his belt.
*This is the first writing credit for Evan Susser.
*Van Robichaux also wrote the short Seth Rogen = Worst Person in the World which Evan Susser was in.
*Surprisingly actor Max Greenfield came up with the story for this movie too.
*So let's see if this is really worth checking out or if it's another comedy stumble.
Pros:
*The cast is pretty good with a few people I wasn't expecting to see.
*Ice Cube really captures his funny bone here.
*Jillian Bell wasn't as annoying as usual and I found her character actually amusing.
*The girl that plays Charlie Day's daughter stands out with one of the funniest moments of the film.
*There are some actually decent original jokes throughout.
*I continuously found myself laughing more than I typically do.
*The whole thing pulled together nicely with a pretty good ending.
Cons:
*Some of the silly adult humor was a miss.
*There are definitely some awkward moments although I'm not too surprised.
Verdict:
This was actually a pretty great and hilarious modern comedy. It still has the gross stuff you typically see these days, but it adds some of the great comedy we all wish to see as well. The characters were awesome and everyone had excellent comedic timing here. I went with my wife and we just absolutely enjoyed it. I would say to check it out for a good time full of laughs.
