When the film isn't hilarious, it's usually amusing, always aiming to please in a way few comedies are capable of anymore. Go to Full Review

Uninspired and unfunny script and direction are the undoing of this labored farce. And then there's Bobby Moynihan... Go to Full Review

02/23/2021 Decent watch, could watch again, and can recommend. Taran Killam, because of his time on SNL, tends to find his ways into roles he doesn't quite match. He's funny, he's a good actor, but he's not always quite enough of whatever he needs to be, in this case: likeable. And on the opposite end, he's not enough of a control freak, he's kind of a bland middle ground. And he's supposed to be good enough, in some way, for Gillian Jacobs. The start of this movie literally looks more like a setup for the weekend where she dumps him than when he would propose. Though I guess they're not exclusive. The Killam solution seems to be add someone who is a more infamous actor for being obnoxious, Bobby Moynihan. While Moynihan is good at what he does, I'm usually not a big fan of it: he's usually a lesser version of Chris Farley leaning on being more stupid than fat and physical. I would imagine that Bobby's character would make almost anyone insane, but this is a long string of abuse humor rivalling "Duplex", and I would argue at a lesser quality. See more 06/26/2020 Fun enough. Some good parts. Some REALLY ANNOYING parts. See more 06/10/2020 Poor gill. RIP . That’s really the only joke that landed for me 2.0 See more 08/12/2019 I think the actors had more fun making this then we did watching as there was little to laugh at in this comedy and was actually annoying See more 01/06/2017 Too broad for my liking. C See more 12/17/2016 A more awful version of meet the parents. See more Read all reviews
