Ignore those negative waves

What interesting about this movie is that the characters are all dork like people. The characters all have there funny and stupid sides to them which make the movie funny and interesting to watch. Also George Clooney is more sad and moronic character and he loves to get his “goof” out

I didn’t think it was all that good but it has good acting, some good lines at times and interspersed laughs. However everything in between was just damn boring and not that funny. This is not worth a second watch from me.

MOVIE REVIEWS BY CRITICS

“..a goofy screwball romp that affords a gaggle of A-listers the chance to hambone around in antic style..”
by Steven Rea [Philadelphia Inquirer]
“..turns out to be a pretty good deal..”
by Bill Gibron [Filmcritic.com]
“..a film to watch to see a great cast in action, and for its twisty plot that's terrific fun at times..”
by David Mercier [FilmJudge]
