    For your own sake, don't watch it

    This movie was an utter disgrace. Clearly the film makers believed that their audience is hideously dense, because the entire film is composed of flat humor, unrealistic romances, and disjointed plot twists that only put the final nail in the coffin.

    couldn't even watch it on a plane

    I can sit through almost anything to pass the time on a 6-hour flight. This one put me over the edge. I usually like the three main actors, but this was stupid beyond belief. Not recommended for kids OR their parents.
