These actors have been a part of several funny projects which set a high bar for me going in to my viewing. Everything falls flat and feels unfinished. This is disappointing.

Would it kill you to write something funny
This is like terrible WB sitcom
You know all the really cringe sitcoms that came and went. Apparently they decided it was a good idea to turn this into a feature film. This was just painful to watch.
I guess the main problem is the main characters aren't funny, but they think they are, which makes it worse.
I think there is an underlying issue with comedies today v. Pre-2015. Too much political correctness, so writers, producers, directors and actors hold back in fear of offending someone, anyone, everywhere. But if that is how you operate you are not going to be free to create since you are under self-imposing restraints.
I have never heard of these actors and I think I know why. It was just a bunch of blabbering without any point to it. It didn't help that the scenes went on and on and on.
Big NO from me.
B+
Better than expected. The structure and attempt to do this alone gets it a 7. Laughter with heart and characters that make you examine yourself gets it 1 more. The attention to detail .9. Loved it.
