Summary: Jim and Dave (James Pumphrey and Alex Rennie) are brothers. They haven’t seen each-other in years, but when their father unexpectedly dies, they’re forced to take a trip together to redeem their inheritance: the family’s lake house. Upon arriving, they find that the house is in terrible condition, and worse-yet, they'll have to fix itJim and Dave (James Pumphrey and Alex Rennie) are brothers. They haven’t seen each-other in years, but when their father unexpectedly dies, they’re forced to take a trip together to redeem their inheritance: the family’s lake house. Upon arriving, they find that the house is in terrible condition, and worse-yet, they'll have to fix it themselves before they can sell it and receive their money. What follows is a series of mishaps and costly misadventures that involve their dad’s questionable business associate (Christopher Meloni), a waitress named Petra (Keeley Hazell) who acts Russian but is really English, and the Russian mob who doubles as a construction crew led by a shotgun-toting Ivan (Brett Gelman).

Awful Nice carves out all the touchy-feely stuff that makes Judd Apatow movies run two reels too long in favor of a jump-cut style that eliminates the fat and keeps the jokes coming. Read full review

Even when bits go thud, there's a brittle, unsentimental wit about kin's inexplicable tug that's hard to ignore, and the leads — game for some surprisingly sublime bits of physical comedy — eventually wear one's anti-charm defenses down. Read full review

With more discipline and a keener sense of family dysfunction, these ingredients could have gelled into something impressive. As it is, Awful Nice is closer to the former than the latter. Read full review

It's often funny, and the writers are smart, but the film is like an arcless, extended episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Read full review

In general, the film feels like all setup and no punch line. Read full review

Awful Nice, about two perpetually warring brothers, grates on the nerves from first moment to last. Read full review
