  Lost the Will to live
  
  Gave up halfway through on this one. Pretty unfunny. Would much rather watch a rerun of Elf so maybe rent that one instead.

  Great Film
  
  A Must for any will Ferrell Fan, Mark Wahlberg does a good job also by playing a different type of character to what he usually does, good film.

  Its a miss
  
  Very disappointed. It was not one of Mark Wahlberg's better films. I only hired it because he was in it, that was the only good thing about the film

  So-so. Not for young children
  
  Some very funny moments, but poor storyline. Also, rating of 12 is surprising - a lot of bad language and sexual innuendo.
  
  A rating of 15 would be ... read more »
