It?s bluntly cheeky, it goes on for too long, but the concept keeps on giving.

Lacking real zest or fun, it?s a middling effort, if one with ample heart and good intentions, that happens to star two actors who can rise to the occasion when necessary. Working together, it?s a shame that they serve both as this frustratingly mediocre comedy?s most reliable pleasure and most consistent disappointment.

The result is an efficient, but grim and cynical machine of a comedy: You'll laugh, but it'll likely be a visceral response to the sheer, bullying spectacle of it all rather than a reaction of genuine amusement.
