    It could of been the second coming of the Farrelly brothers but, alas, this movie proves it just wasn't meant to be. The only actor who saves this movie is Michelle Monaghan, who practically keeps the movie a little interesting.

    Good comedy that gets better the more times you see it. Fave bit is the Mariachi band.

    I only watched this for the fantastic Jerry Stiller, I though a Stiller father and son film would be quite funny. Not really the case I?m afraid, a couple of funny scenes aside, there ain't much going on here! Although this film is a loose remake, it feels as if the Farrelly brot...( read more)hers made it up as they went along and by the time you get half way, you just want it to be over. Shame really as it didn?t start off too badly. Watch it for the scene with Jerry Stiller and Kayla Kleevage in a hot-tub in Vegas but nothing more.

    A movie about meeting your soul mate while on your honeymoon and all the troubles than result. Mediocre movie at best.

    By now you know what you get with Ben Stiller. This is another one of his comedies that walks the fine line between stupid and funny. This time it veers more in the direction of stupid. It does have its moments of humor. The movie starts out promises and then progress to beco...( read more)me more outrageous and even annoying. Jerry Stiller and Rob Corddry play their roles well. The plot sets up to be a funny movie, but somehow falls short in the end.

    An avarage TV comedy. Just another Ben Stiller movie. Fun to watch, entertaining enough.

Armond White, The New York Press

We deserve better than this and expect better from the Farrellys. full review

October 5, 2007
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

Gratingly unfunny, mean-spirited Farrelly brothers flick. full review

October 5, 2007
Claudia Puig, USA Today

Though not as engaging as Knocked Up, there is enough humor to keeps us entertained. full review

October 5, 2007
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle

The Farrelly brothers blow all the good will accumulated in the first half of the movie by taking the humor deeper and deeper into Tedious Cad Land, where Stiller's self-obsessed, nattering guyishness... full review

October 5, 2007
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

There are some good laughs to be found here, but you'll need patience to extract them from the filler. full review

October 5, 2007
Pete Hammond, Maxim

An outrageously hilarious and RAUNCHY comedy that creates so many huge - and we mean humungous - laughs you will probably have to see it more than once just to catch all the dialogue. full review

October 5, 2007
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

A squirmy miscalculation of tone. full review

October 5, 2007
Nigel Andrews, The Financial Times

The whirring sound you hear is that of Neil Simon, screenwriter of the 1972 film on which this is louchely based, spinning in his retirement. full review

October 5, 2007
A.O. Scott, The New York Times

[The Farrelly Brothers'] squeamish, childish fascination with bodily ickiness, when crossed with the iffy sexual politics of the original, yields a comic vision remarkable for its hysterical misogyny.

October 5, 2007
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

This hit-and-miss attempt by the Farrelly brothers to up their own ante on crude smacks of comic desperation. full review
