(I offer no excuse. Okay, yeah I do: I was in Cedar Rapids, had some time to kill, had seen everything else, and was with other people. Plus the other option was Down With Love.)

Surprisingly unfunny, even when you allow for the fact that I’m predisposed to dislike the premise, this was the movie that was to take Jim back to his classic comic roots. It hit all the formulaic high-points and sure seems to have scored at the box office.

But for all that, there are more laughs in The Onion’s lacerating review of this pic than in the film itself.
