  dissapointing film
  
  Well took ages to get going and when it did, there was only a few parts that made me laugh, there are much better comedies than this so give this one a miss.

  Very Watchable, Funny and Sweet
  
  This was so much better and sweeter than I had thought it would be. A very funny film with a fairly predictable story but really well done

  Don't waste your rental.
  
  I'm a big fan of Paul Rudd, bit honestly, it's not worth the rental.
  
  I wouldn't even watch it if it was on TV.
  
  Awful. Shame ... read more »

  The only schmuck here is me.
  
  I like Steve Carell but he needs to change his choice of movies and quickly.
  
  He is seriously in danger of going down the same route as Jim Carrey , ... read more »

  I really should read reviews before I rent films!

  Pathetic
  
  Unbelievable! From the ham acting, to the (very) cheap laughs, to the fact the film was even made. Very, very poor - don't bother.
