    The movie made me laugh a lot anyway. It has a big, inventive cast of loons and a great premise.
  2. Actually boasts a decent script with character development, a sense of pace and some well-drawn supporting roles.
  3. Filmmakers run out of ideas long before the final.
  4. 38
    Packed with gratuitous dumb moments -- which is too bad, given that the premise has promise.
