    Writers Nicholas Stoller and Judd Apatow remake is more devilish, hitting its targets with the reckless glee required for a round of Whac-A-Mole.

    A pitch-perfect farce for the post-Enron era.

    Carrey's back on top slapstick form and brews up great chemistry with Leoni.
  4. 38
    Has all the depth of an episode of "Joey."

    I don't see why so many people can't just sit back and enjoy a movie. You don't have to point out every mistake. The movie was entertaining, that's all that matters. Expand

    I just like this movie. This movie was in fact fun. Love the actors. They were perfect fits for each other. It is silly and stupid, which is exactly what it is supposed to be. Expand

    Barely passable sitcom material. Great cast--this was way below par for them. I spent 20 bucks on the dvd--please take advantage of my stupidity and don't waste your time..But, if you do--it's worth checking the deleted scenes for the great JAMES WHITMORE, whose scene was cut (and funnier than most in the movie) At 85, he deserves better.
