What to Know

Critics Consensus

This Odd Couple comedy misses more than hits in terms of laughs, and the plot twists make little sense.

Audience Member Dax Shepard awesome movie I love that Kristen Bell was in this u both did great, seeing you two actually in love for real life made it all worth its views, including friends family as well.I just love this ive watched many times, love dax...Great job...!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member An agreeable watch with the standard hetro having to work with someone who's gay and the cliches that may entail. It sidesteps them but doesnt work in much in the way to get too excited about. It meanders along rather than flows and aside with the biting dialogue at the start as the characters get to know each, everything else is a tad limp. Micharl Parducci is terrifically easy on the eyes and if anyone knows his mobile number i'd be in debt to you forever. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I think the critics were a little harsh on this one. It's an amusing story. Peter Jacobson's Woody Allenisms get to a be a bit much and unoriginal. Some great one liners though, a pleasant score. I was always interested in the film, good character development. Not great, but well worth watching. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Between a 4/10 and 5/10, its satire of action-movie mindlessness and screenwriting-as-prostitution is dated and without bite. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I was surprised to see Taub from House playing a gay man. Nice to see a film with a gay-straight friendship and it's an effective romantic comedy as well. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member I think the critics were a little harsh on this one. It's an amusing story. Peter Jacobson's Woody Allenisms get to a be a bit much and unoriginal. Some great one liners though, a pleasant score. I was always interested in the film, good character development.
