Uproarious romp, grounded in believable if gleefully implausible human behavior, is a model of comic timing.

Farrelly brothers films are looking better and better, but aren't nearly as funny as their grungy early films that hit with the stealth and vigor of guerrilla commandos. Maybe there is a kind of heartbreak here after all.
Grodin always seems like a real guy, whereas Stiller, even working it, is just the designated loser-clown of the megaplex era. He's too harmless to break any hearts.
Though not as engaging as "Knocked Up," there is enough humor to keeps us entertained.
There are small moments of real humor.
Lame, long, ugly joke of a movie.
A grim, shrill, deluded and incredibly depressing movie, so bewilderingly mean-spirited that the trademark Farrelly Brothers gross-out scenes feel like the sweetest.
