I was absolutely dreading this latest instalment from the Farrelly brothers. Growing up you couldn't stop me from laughing at their movies. It just seems like after Shallow Hal they blew it all, jokes and everything.There are some great laughs though, from a Cuckoo's Nest reference to the shitty bathroom. Plus the assistant at the coffee shop is pure gold, especially when he cock blocks at a party and shouts at a random woman nearby. The toruble is, the good laughs are blended in with some really bad lines. It really only comes to life when the always perfect Richard Jenkins shows up and steals the show.
On a separate note, how ugly has Owen Wilson got? He's like the new Brendan Fraser. I know he's supposed to look like a family man but jeez, too far.
While it's still light years away from Kingpin (there best in my opinion), it is at least mildly amusing in parts. Which is more than I can say for The Heartbreak Kid.
