Braff "Used" To Be Funny - This Isn't! Avoid!!!

Baz from , 1st December, 2007

Zach Braff used to be funny, but this is easily one of the worst pieces of crap I've had the misfortune to sit through. It has its moments - it does - but they're very few - and so forced as to even make you feel uncomfortable! This is an awful, tepid and unfunny movie with characters that irritate rather than endear. Why is it so difficult for Hollywood to produce a decent Rom-Com nowadays? And how did this clap-trap ever get made?? I mean - can't they see!!! Avoid like the plague.

Something missing

Stiofan from , 21st September, 2007

This is a fairly short film with fairly long credits (including outtakes so worth keeping watching). It did make me laugh but it was all rather subdued and didn't really get going. Great cast mainly from American sitcoms who put in good performances. Jason Bateman from 'Arrested Development' puts in a good performance as does Zach Braff, slightly subdued from his 'Scrubs' character. Charles Grodin is good too and Mia Farrow bizarre as the parents of Amanda Peet (from 'Studio 60..'). Throw in cameos from Romany Malco ('Weeds') and Paul Rudd and that's a great cast. The kid is very good too. The script and story are ok too but it just didn't take off for me (but I did laugh at times).
