What a shame! I didn't go into this movie with the highest of expectations and yet it surprised me. The movie opened up with what I thought was going to be their big set piece. So I was thankful I didn't have to wait for the entire movie to see a scene that looked like it was going to be kind of lame. It opened with that and from there I had no idea what was coming. Next. Acts 1 and 2 were actually kind of interesting. We got to meet our characters. We have our home body dad. We have our work hard. Mom and we have the best friend who's a party animal and it didn't go in the ways that these movies typically go. We had a great setup. We had some interesting tangos and it managed to avoid a lot of retread ground with the exception of the gross out humor of watching someone throw up repeatedly. Those that never needs to be seen in movies anymore. I don't know why they keep making this happen but I don't derive any sort of pleasure from watching someone throw up. You could have just cut away and had it making the sounds and it would have been just as effective.

The problem with this movie is they didn't actually write a third act. They just sort of let the movie meander. And then when they were making it they figured. Oh we'll just use the same thing we do in every movie. It really brought down the whole movie when our main character gets treated like any other sitcom husband when that's not who he is. I don't think the script or the screenplay really respect the character, at least not an act. 3. The completely underwritten thrown together act 3 where they just decided to make it like every other movie about husband who's a little too jealous or a little too rowdy and everything is his fault. It hurt my feelings because the movie was actually having a good time. I was laughing at jokes I was following along with our characters. I was eager to see where it would go and then it just suddenly did in the bout face and went in the most predictable manner I've ever seen and it turned a movie that while not mind-blowingly original I was having a decent time with and it made it not fun. It drags down the whole movie that have an end like that because nothing in this ending matches what these characters were set up for. It's not the '90s anymore. Stop making '90s movies. If I want to go watch a '90s movie that's what DVDs are for.
