Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Mazer's previous onscreen experience is undeniably obvious. No penis is left unfilmed, no crude scene prevented from going on far too long.
In addition to some trite set pieces, writer-director Dan Mazer serves up nothing more than conspicuous cynicism masquerading as comedy.
The tonal clash is jarring, and Mazer doesn't help matters by erring on the side of blandness.
Can a comedy be too funny for its own good?
