In this remake of the 1981 classic comedy, Russell Brand somehow finds a way to make his character not funny and not all that likable.  It was a pain to watch the nearly 2 hours of this awful movie.  Some movie were good as they were and are not meant to be modernized.  Jennifer Garner is beautiful, but lets face it, she is not a comedian and it clearly shows that she was out of place in this film.  If I were you, take my advice and avoid watching this at all costs.  I will not get those precious hours back in my life, the least I could do is warn you in the minute it took you to read this.  At no point should this have been made, let alone be watched.

I think that Tom Hanks is a great actor and it kills me that he wrote this one.  It is about as average and predictable as it can get.  Some parts don’t exactly line up and it is just a mess of a movie.  I am sorry Tom, but you may win the wrong kind of award for this film.  Julia Roberts is nothing special in this one either.  There is very little humor and the comedians in the movie are limited in their roles.  If it had not been for a really boring day at see on a cruise, I don’t think I would have ever seen this one.  I don’t even know how long it was even in the movie theater.  Last resort movie in my opinion.
