| 6/10. Carrell himself is hilarious and does what he can with the role. There are some genuinely funny moments, and Alan Arkin adds to every scene he's in, but the script is a mangled mess. I know the material is supposed to be light hearted anway, but the story is an afterthought, forgettable and predictable, and at no time seems to have a central goal as the characters just drift through the motions. Anne Hathaway is decent, but comedy isn't her strong suit. The fact that she is a tad young to play 99 is explained in the film though. |
