First of all, Jerry has always been famous for producing some huge blockbusters like 'Pirates of the Carribean', 'Prince of Persia' or 'Bad Boys'. However, from time to time, the guy does try something really different and this comedy was a very good example. This time around, he was working with P.J. Hogan who had some success in the past with 'My Best Friend's Wedding'. Anyway, the whole thing turned out to be seriously average. I mean, there was an interesting cast involved (Isla Fisher, Hugh Dancy, Joan Cusack, John Goodman, John Lithgow, Kristin Scott Thomas) but the whole thing wasn't never actually funny and I was eventually rather bored during the whole duration. Eventually, ย I felt really bad about Isla Fisher. Indeed, she always seemed to be a very funny and talented actress but I keep seeing her only in boring and average flicks like this one. Eventually, I do think that this premise actually really had some potential but the end-result was just way too generic and predictable for my taste. Anyway, to conclude, I have to admit that I have seen worse movies but the whole thing was still pretty damned average stuff and it is not really worth a look whatsoever.
