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.

It's the casting of Liam Neeson as the nervous breakdown that turns the movie to asphalt

The movie is marred by an overreliance on unfunny bathroom gags.

Not sure why this gets such a low score. Original and funny even if it was a little over acted.

Light-hearted fun. A playful romp , filled with oddball characters, if you like quirky I think you'll like this.

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.

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.
