Uneven, intelligent, weird, sometimes funny (more often not) - and almost consistently engaging.

Rated: B+

Even if you invite a lot of talented people to the set, the result won't work if you don't give them a way to show why they're considered talented.

Rated: 1/4

This spectacularly dumb and unfunny film will likely bore even the staunchest fans of the "Hangover" movies, of which "Search" is a kind of distant, fatally impoverished cousin.

Virgin and Crashers felt fresh back in 2005 but the bloom is off the rose. The returns have diminished.

It's nasty and icky and vile and vulgar and hysterical, the last half hour is especially sublime stuff.

This movie is okay. The cast is good and the jokes and gags were generally funny. But the story was lame, the characters unlikeable, and overall the movie was trying too hard to be something like the Hangover. If you are into raunchy screwball humor then you will find this movie funny.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Normally I think the critics are too hard on new comedies but in this case they are being too nice. Absolute garbage.
