    Myers gives us all of the exaggerated physical schtick of Jim Carrey plus the added bonus of wickedly clever writing that refuses to let you escape.

    As goofy and throwaway as the "Brady Bunch" movies, but it has the same winking appreciation of vintage kitsch.

    Without a genuinely charming central character to pull it together, the movie is a shamble of tedious passages punctuated by a few desultory chuckles.
