      • Aug 03, 2013

        I can't believe this predictable movie got made at all. Zach Braff is tough to stomach, and Amanda Peet is better than this. The only redeeming factor is Jason Bateman, who is a sly comic and fun to hate. I've always liked him and would probably watch him in anything. I love you, Jason!

        Appauling. Wasn't even that funny.

        Occassionally funny but avoid if you can. Full review later.
