An average movie

Obviously, I wasn’t expecting much from this flick but, somehow, I still ended up watching the damned thing. Indeed, even though I always had a hard time with Adam Sandler, I think that his buddy Roy Schneider is even worse and probably one of the worst actors around. He is basically the Uwe Boll of acting... Dramatic! I have to admit it though, this movie is not his worst one and there were actually some redeeming features. Indeed, Anna Faris and Rachel McAdams were both pretty good and pretty much saved this movie from total wreckage. At the end of the day, the main issue is that it is a rather stupid set-up and there was no way that the whole thing could have been somewhat satisfying. Still, even though Rachel McAdams was not even the main character, even though she unfortunately didn’t have much screen time, I thought she was actually pretty impressive with a rather thankless part and it’s a tribute to her talent that she managed to do something interesting with this material. Anyway, to conclude, even though I have seen worse, it remains a very moronic movie and I don’t think it is worth a look, except maybe if you are a die-hard fan of the genre.
