This is a movie that looked like it could be an interesting idea, but it just settles in as an odd and weird one instead. Very few moments that are funny. The whole movie seems to be improves from Steve Carrell. This is one of the most pointless comedies that I've ever seen and I've seen a lot of comedies in my lifetime. A good a cast and a competent director can't really save this mess. I wonder if there was even a script locked down for this movie or if the director just said"action" and filmed whatever?
Paul Rudd needs to find a schmuck to take to a secret dinner that with get him a promotion at work. He literally runs into Steve Carell and realizes that this guy fits the bill perfectly. Steve Carell then becomes attached to Paul Rudd and ends up screwing up his life and the movie becomes an odd buddies comedy from there.
One of the worst comedies that I've seen in the last few years. This may be a decent movie if you love Steve Carell. A total waste of time. View this movie with caution.
