Users Reviews

Not a comedy
And not very interesting to watch otherwise.
Not funny enough
I expected much more laughs from a movie that stars Steve Martin, Owen Wilson and Jack Black. It's a fair comedy about three mature men who haven't grown up yet, but if you're expecting something hilarious this is not the movie for you.
Likely to see
Not for me
