It's OK

This film isn't the laugh riot that the trailers made it out to be… with that said, that is the reason I gave this film a low score. If you are looking for comedy, only a few scenes deserve a chuckle. I would have still gone to this movie if they edited a truthful preview.

THC is always awesome and with out his portrayal of the uncle I think this film would have really bombed with out him. I was slight disappointed in EP but she was probably fresh off her Juno movie (awesome BTW) which is probably why I felt she had a little bit of her Juno character in there.

It was an OK slice of life film with pompous characters that everyone has encountered at some point in their lives. Well, I went in expecting a comedy but got a decent downer movie.
