An average movie

After the disappointing ‘The Heartbreak Kid’, the Farrelly brothers came up 4 years later with a new directing effor but, unfortunately for them, it was yet another flop. It seems that those guys will never reach the same success they got with ‘Dumb & Dumber’ and ‘There’s something About Mary’ (Honestly, I wasn’t really a huge fan of those films anyway). Still, this movie definitely had some potential and I liked how they started with some pretty genuine portrayals of average family life, although, in my opinion, Owen Wilson was rather miscast for this part (somehow like Ben Stiller or Steve Carell would have been more suited instead of a notorious womanizer). However, even though the whole thing could or should have been a really oversexed raunchy party, it was actually surprisingly tame. Indeed, it is only towards the end that you get to see the very hot coffee lady topless (the only moment it seems that something will actually happen but it doesn’t go further than this and she puts her clothes back on pretty quickly) but, for the rest of the movie, those guys just spent their hall pass hanging out together and not actually chasing the ladies which I thought was the whole point . While, in the mean time, one of their wives was having sex with a college student that’s how dubious the whole thing was. To conclude, even though it could have been a funny comedy, it was rather disappointing and I don’t think it is really worth a look, expect maybe if you are die-hard fan of the Farrelly brothers's work.
