Quite easy to laugh at, but for a while there I almost liked it. I found every character in this movie completely brainless. Tries to be flashy with 'Farris' around but still it felt uninspired.... Full review

Just like he loses himself in the fat suit at the beginning of the film, Ryan Reynolds totally immerses himself in the comedy.
