Uncomfortable. Unfunny. Incompatible cast who did a very ordinary job. Channing Tatum might have been the only good thing.

Actually didn't mind this. I like both Vince Vaughn and Kevin James, so found it easy to watch. Not a standout by any means, but not too taxing on the brain either.
Kristina
says
This was one of the stupidest movies I have seen for a long time. I was pretty generous giving it two stars. Not worth watching.
Kelly
says
Not brilliant, but not terrible either.
Christos
says
This ne looked soooooo much better in the promos!!
Totally Mweeeeh...non existent plot, illogical outcome..Another mass produced, cookie cutter farce!
Catherine

A word of advice, look at all the reviews they are all so different, just watch it I think ,they are both funny actors.
Shirley Brodel
says
Unable to watch - disc was smudged and no amount of cleaning would fix.
Request replacement disc.
Heidi

GW

This is a funny movie which is about two best friends in the world surviviing their personal lives while they try to make the business deal of their lives.
I enjoyed it, great mainstream movie
Kaz
says
Its ok..not as funny as all Vince comedy movie..
Micha
says
This was the worst movie I've seen in years, and very possibly the worst movie made in years! Real bad idea to take 2 good comedic actors and force them to act out a serious plot line with a bunch of unfunny jokes and scenarios randomly thrown in

So could have found something better to do with my time. Barely redeemable film where most of the time I was wondering would the likes of Kevin James or Vince Vaughan, actually have wives such as Winona Ryder or Jennifer Connelly in real life?

not bad but thought it might be funnier

I haven't laughed this hard at a movie since step brothers. I really enjoyed it and would reccomend it if you're wanting a good laugh.
d
says
By far the funniest characters are Queen Latifah and the guy who plays Zip. Credit to Jennifer Connelly also. Seen better from Vince Vauhn and Kevin James.
Story has potential but doesn't quite make it.

Vince Vaughn never shuts up and his fast quips and wit make me watch his movies, this is another of them and takes Kevin James along with him, a movie about friendship and the obligations of being a true friend and the trouble it can bring, confusion, fear, loyalty. I loved it. Funny movie, for everyone.
georgina

Very Funny movie, would recommend
Lisa
says
Not the funniest Vince Vaughan film that I've seen- maybe he wanted to show a more dramatic side??? The story was a bit slow and bland but it gets there in the end!! Ok - seen better
mintiegirl
says
Painfully Slow. not funny. awkward. couldn't work out if it was meant to be a dark comedy or chick flick?
terese

Jeff W
says
a light comedy with great actors. Not enough laughs however.
juliekym
says
This movie was OK. Definately not a laugh out loud comedy. Not Vince Vaughn's best.
diz
says
Loved this movie! and with the combination of Vince and Kevin James it was fantastic
Shell
says
This movie has the genre categorised at a romantic comedy.... This is very far from the truth. Did not laugh at all during this movie and pretty much did not have any real reaction to it. I would save this movie till you had pretty much viewed every other movie out there!!
Nomes
says
I was bored!
Jenny
says
This movie wasn't as good as I expected it to be especially with the actors that were in the cast. It was a bit of a dissappointment.
Deborah
says
ordinary movie
30somethinggirl
says
A likeable cast delivering light entertainment. A bit light on the comedy, with lead character Vince Vaughn playing a more dramatic & less comedic character.
Brinlarr
says
a nothing movie,
nothing bad stands out just it doesnt go anywhere,
every thing is competent but a waste of how ever many minutes it takes to watch,
forgettable,
not worth the effort
Meylia
says
What a waste of time watching this movie!
Not sure if this movie supposed to be a comedy, drama or just simply put famous actors together to act.
CAROL
says
EXCELLENT MOVIE
Kazza
says
Not a bad romance/comedy, but pretty slow at first, suppose it had to show you why he did as he was doing....anyway watch it and see for yourself, funny in places, romantic in places...
MH
says
I liked this movie had some funny bits in it.
Nicole
says
So Painful to watch!...But Vince Vaughn has that effect on you, Ha Ha! But seriously, during his "speech" i was in actual physical pain.... Just shut up Vince!
It was alright, not what i expected it to be, probably won't watch it again.
Samantha
says
Didn't expect anything amazing, but was pleasantly surprised. Light hearted and good for a laugh.
wap81
says
movie was good, but expected it to be really funny and its not, so i guess i was dissapointed.
Alicia
says
Expected a comedy and was very disappointed
sarah
says
Funny, lighthearted and entertaining movie. Good 'couples' movie to watch together.
moomoo
says
I was hoping it would be better. The cast was good. The scipt not so. A bit depressing. Not my favourite movie at all.
bjuneja14
says
boring.....start was alright....but then as the movie progressed i was questioning why i am watching this? the story has been stretched too far without reason nd the worst part is vince never once questions his friend's infidelity(massage parlor scenario)...girls watch at your own risk..
StephM
says
A typical Vince Vaughn movie - lots of laughs, a few curve balls and a happy ending. Very entertaining, certainly worth seeing!
Ann E.
says
Very, very disappointed in this movie after all the hype! The only funny parts are in the trailer. I 'get' the idea is to portray friendship but for me it is just lies, distrust, foolish behaviour and an unfaitful spouse. The is the second Vince Vaughan movie I have seen recently and totally disappointed in both.
Michael Y

Good movie , slow paced for Vince Vaughan however good comedy
