This comedy opened in about 36 theatres in April 2008, across the US played for 2 weeks with low box results. Truthfully it may have been better if they released it directly to DVD.
It stars Aaron Eckhart who is usually very good in the roles he takes,sorry to say he made an error with this movie.
The other players come off somewhat better, Elizabeth Banks & Jessica Alba are quite good in there parts.
The entire movie is saved from utter chaos by 2 things.
First thing is delightful performance by 15 year old newcomer Logan Lerman, He is the bright lad Eckhart is mentoring. He may have a good future.
The other saving grace are the 2 gay characters, for a welcome change they are not stereotypes. My personal feeling I would love to see an entire film featuring these 2 actors,they only are in a few short scenes but they and The young lad save this silly comedy from being an utter bomb.
Ratings: **1/2 (out of 4) 67 points(out of 100) IMDb 6 (out of 10)
