    What a dull, nice movie, wrenched from a wild premise and battered into docility.

    Stranded in this charmless fantasy, Stiller is reduced to his old halting, squirming tricks.

    I was less than amused with this movie. Because of Ben Stiller I expected this movie to be a riot, but came out disappointed. It was okay but I wouldn't suggest buying it.… Expand

    I came into the movie thinking it was going to be really funny and it was very disappointing. There were some funny parts but over all it sucked.
