What to Know

Critics Consensus

A dark comedy of the low brow nature -- filled with fart and gay jokes. Even Liam Neeson and Sandra Bullock cannot save this failure.

Liam D Two styles that don't meshed together well This comedy is just nothing and I will forget it in the next week Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/07/21 Full Review Audience Member Not sure why this gets such a low score. Original and funny even if it was a little over acted. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Light-hearted fun. A playful romp , filled with oddball characters, if you like quirky I think you'll like this. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review steve d It's cast is the only thing going for it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Entertaining interwoven plots create an interesting result to a sting-operation-gone-sour. Looks like Charlie, Judy, Fulvio & the guys from group therapy are blessed with a chance to make things better. Friendship triumphs over betrayal & deceit. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member You'd think a movie with Liam Neeson, Oliver Platt, and Sandra Bullock would be sure to be good, but this film is just more proof that good actors is only one ingredient to making a good film. Story is key and this one just isn't that interesting. There are a few good laughs, but it gets old fast as it continues with the same jokes throughout the film.
