An average movie

Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of Barbra Streisand but I have a weak spot for Seth Rogen so I thought I might check this one out. First of all, I'm not surprised that this movie was a flop when it was released. Indeed, even though it might have seemed smart to combine those two stars in order to reach a really wide audience, it just didn’t work out since any die hard of Barbra Streisand wouldn't care for a comedy starring Seth Rogen and vice versa. On top of that, I thought that both characters were really unlikeable, they were both pretty much some losers, so it was rather difficult to care for them or what they were going through. And yet, both actors delivered some decent performances and there were some scenes here and there that actually did work very well. Eventually, the whole thing would have worked much better if, instead of being a commercial comedy, it would have have been a smaller darker indie feature like 'About Schmidt' for example. To conclude, I think I'm being rather generous with my rating here but I guess it is still worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
