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.
