When Ronnie Valentine (Vince Vaughn) spots his best
friend’s wife with another man he faces an awkward social quandary. Does he
tell his friend (Kevin James) about it or wait until after their important
business deal?
With Ron Howard (Cocoon, Happy Days) directing this was
never going to be a slapstick comedy. It’s more of a humorous take on a very
uncomfortable situation and as usual Howard found a part for his oddball
brother Clint, who was the child star of Gentle Ben.
If you’re expecting Wedding Crashers or Dodgeball than give
this a miss but if you fancy a more thoughtful comedy with a top level cast,
check it out.
Ric’s Rating: Good.
It's not funny and not very dramatic, but it still features fine performances from everybody involved. Still seems a little strange that Ron Howard would direct something like this. Good review Ric.
ReplyDeleteI'm not much for the slapstick so I'll check it out.
