The Good:
Will Poulter as the nerdy, awkward virgin Kenny was a highlight while Nick Offerman and Kathryn Hahn were the funniest parts of the entire movie as the salt of the Earth Don and Edie Fitzgerald.

And Jennifer Aniston looks freaking amazing! It’s almost as tight as her face…which does not move an inch btw.

The Bad:
Well for a full length comedy the humor was seriously lacking. the jokes fell flat more often than not and Jason Sudeikis, who I have found funny in pretty much everything else he has been in, was just dreadful in this lead role. The 5 minutes of outtakes at the end of the film was funnier than the rest of the movie.

The Ugly
I honestly think Emma Roberts was sedated throughout the filing of this movie.

Final Verdict: A by-the-numbers, not nearly funny enough comedy that wastes a couple good performances and delivers nothing original or all that fun.

Grade: C-
