I thought this was going to be an out and out comedy. It's not. It's depressing, awkward, why anyone would want to make a film about a couple splitting up is beyond me. There's no clearcut right person/wrong person, it cant decide whether its a comedy or not, Vince Vaughan is ANNOYING!

It made me GRRRR enough to warrant me making this thread, thats how much I didnt like it!

You've been WARNED!

Got it bang on :)

I went to see it last night (against my will, I wanted to see Superman) and was seriously under whelmed. The fundamental flaw of the film is that - for a comedy - it's just not funny enough, especially given the depressing and awkward subject matter. It should have been a lot more daft, enforcing itself as not being too serious. It failed.

Shame really, because the premise was quite good and the casting was right. Just didn’t deliver, when it had the chance to.

Pity. I wanted to see this as I like both of them, ah well, won't bother now.

I was pulled out to see this too, the only highlight was i went with a hot girl. The film was utter poop. The ending was really bad as well, it need another 30mins at least to actually finish!
