FIVE OBSERVATIONS:
1 This is a very funny movie. The chemistry between the three leads is perfect. They have multiple car scenes together which are filled with wonderful dialogue and hijinks. You could see these people being friends in real life.
2 Charlie Day + Bowl of cocaine = Hilarious. I had tears coming out of my eyes. His sifting is priceless. Best scene in the film by far.
3 The pacing of this film is really well done. Almost all the people involved from writing to directing to acting are all involved with sitcoms, therefore they aware of time constraints and are careful not to drag things on too much. It’s about time a good comedy had a running time of just over 90 minutes. Kudos.
4 Jennifer Aniston (Friends) and her sexually charged potty mouth was funny but might put some people off. You can tell she relished the opportunity to finally play the bad girl.
5 There are a couple of instances where Jason Sudeikis is scoring with the ladies. Really? He’s okay looking but are women falling all over this guy? He got women a little too easily even with his ‘model’ line.
RECOMMENDATION: Wait for DVD since it’s a comedy
UPCOMING REVIEWS: Cowboys & Aliens
