Review

from the director of stripes comes this poorly thought film. it’s not that the film doesn’t produce some laughs, rather it’s that the story is just such an amalgamation of other genres and cliches, that it turns out to be a farcical mess by the end; and you’re either forgiving enough to look past the stupidity, or you’re not. the cast is full of potential – thurman, wilson, faris, sykes, izzard, and that other guy (who plays wilson’s chauvinistic friend) – but only the other guy really shines. the others have their moments, but none of them show their true talents here. stupid premise and unfulfilled talent-related potential aside, the film entertains and never drags.
