Reelviews - James Berardinelli
: Not only is it wearying to spend 2 1/2 hours in the company of a bipolar, self-absorbed creep, but the story is told in a choppy, uneven manner.

One of the best movies of the year. If we can understand the story, we will love the movie. Adam Sandler performed much better. Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Eric Bana and Leslie Mann are fantastic in this movie. Their combined efforts made this movie extremely well. The movie is well-written, well-directed and well-acted. | | | | Reply | | |

Worst movie of the year. It is extremely long. The story is really weak. Very poor acting also very poor direction. Horrific language. Don't waste your money and time. | | | | Reply | | |

The movie was horible. The plot, story, direction, acting- everything were so bad that I found it tough to sit through the entire show. Not at all worth spending money and time. | | | | Reply | | |
