Not bad enough to qualify as a memorable dud, multinational production nonetheless misses mark on every level.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The comedy is nonexistent.
It all feels like a Monty Python sketch gone horribly wrong.
What we have here isn't a disaster, exactly, but a very handsomely produced let-down.
Not only does LeBlanc make one spectacularly ugly-looking broad, but he appears miserable throughout as he swaggers through his scenes.
