While I thought it started a bit slow, I was sold as soon as the director made his dramatic exit. Filled with Hollywood conventions that they simultaneously use and parody, you could play a drinking game every time somebody recognizes a shot or moment lifted directly from another movie.

While this movie probably doesn’t represent the best of each actor’s work, especially Jack Black, I found most of the cast (even Ben Stiller!) quite funny. The package worked, and I was entertained. That’s all I ask anymore.

Impressions will come in a new post.
