A highly watchable movie, with a protagonist to root for.

If you're a fan of Will Ferrell films you may find it moderately enjoyable.

Everything seems predictable, dealing as it does with stereotypes, and yet you appreciate the effort.

It's almost as if the project ran out of money or whole scenes were cut to preserve the runtime, as after setting up some juicy ideas, the film cheats us by ushering in conclusions which leave the words 'but how did that happen?' hanging accusingly in the
