Problem is, it's not really good either. It's not even interestingly bad. Not "so bad it's good", just dull. Stuff happens. Then more stuff happens. Then it's over. As I thought about what to say to fill in the required characters for this review, I realized what this movie needs - a laugh track. There are definitely comedy "beats" where funny things are expected to happen - but they just don't. In that way, it's like watching a (weak) sitcom without the laugh track. I'm an old man, seeing this movie 17 years after it was released, so definitely not its target audience. And I actually wish it was a worse movie, because at least that would be entertaining. Instead, I just found it mostly boring.
