An average movie

Since I always had a weak spot for Danny DeVito, I was quite eager to check this flick. Indeed, even though he is not famous for his directing career, Danny DeVito has actually directed some pretty interesting features. Unfortunately, the last movie he directed was not one of them... Indeed, it is basically a rather standard and predictable comedy with a very boring plot. I mean, Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore can both be pretty entertaining but their characters were not really likeable, interesting and, above all, not really funny whatsoever. One detail that really bothered me is that, for most of the movie, they make a big deal that they cannot sleep at night because of their neighbor and they make it all sound like an unsolvable issue. Have they never heard of earplugs??! It is actually a pretty good example of the obvious lack of inspiration displayed in this picture. To conclude, the people involved in this flick are actually quite talented but even though, the end result was really disappointing and it is not really worth a look, even if you like the genre.
