This is a really good adult comedy. Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis are great together here. Zach is the stand-out though with his hilarious stupid questions. One of the funniest parts is something he makes the baby do. It’s crazy and over the top and a lot of fun. It does have a little bit of a heart towards the end but not too much where it turns into a completely different film. I hope there is more on the DVD.

Will Ferrell and Danny McBride are good together here, but I didn’t get the movie. It was trying to be so many things at once. For kids in some ways and adults in others. Drug trips and lots of sex jokes with Chaka made for some awkward moments. I did laugh at times, and I loved the Matt Lauer stuff. Too bad we saw most of it in the previews. Not bad for a rental, but don’t pay full price for this one.

Get it? F U? Ha ha! That is about the extent of the cleverness in this film, but I have to admit I laughed out loud a few times. The scene on the bus with them all cheering is good, and when one of them realizes that a guy has been hitting on him the whole time the flashback they show is actually pretty funny. Nothing to recommend, but it won’t be on the worst-of list for the year. It may have been better if they had just gone all out for an R rating.

I loved “The King of Queens,” and Kevin James is really funny. Sure, it’s not a brilliant comedy that I will watch over and over, but it made me laugh. And it’s kid friendly so you can bring the whole family. Who doesn’t want to see Kevin in a comedic take on Die Hard?

When I saw the preview for this movie, I really didn’t know what to make of it. Could have gone either way, and I am glad to say that it was really good. Would you want to travel back in time? Maybe not after seeing this movie. At first I didn’t think the lead actor was very good, but as the film progresses he proves himself to be the perfect choice. It’s very funny at times in a morbid sense and even though you know what is going to happen in the end, it is still hard to not laugh. The ending is perfect. Great movie. Top ten potential.

Paul Rudd and Sean William Scott are both very funny in this movie, but as a whole the movie is just okay. It’s almost too crude at times and they seem to be trying too hard. There really isn’t too much to the story, and I didn’t believe that either of them would change in the end. Not that it matters since it’s just a comedy. I think too hard about these things sometimes.
