IMO, this review deserves a 3/5. Even though he gave it a C+ and did call it uneven and the script a "hit and miss", he DID say there were some big laughs (some of the best of the summer) and the actors play with their material to the best of their abilities.
By the end of Rich's review, I got the impression he was given it a very MILD recommendation. But maybe that's just my thing. I will still be going to see this tonight, though, because it's gotten a 75% on RT and considering how aweful some of the comedies of this summer have been ("Red Riding Hood, Just Go With It, and, dare I say it, Hangover 2, anyone?) I think it's bound to be half decent.

Youre just a sad person if you were not laughing all the way. Even the outtakes are hilarious.

When will people realize not to trust the Tomato? Look at the average review score instead ... which is 6.4/10. That is a D grade movie. Of course, comedy is subjective ... and I didn't care for this one. It could have been much, much better if the script was better. Jason Bateman seemed like he didn't even want to be in this film and that he was just doing someone a favor. I still think "Bridesmaids" is THE comedy of the year and it is going to be tough to beat. The three Bosses were played well, there were a couple funny lines (mainly ones in the commercial), but overall ... it was too predictable, contrived, and not very original. If you haven't watched that much TV or movies growing up (or if you're still young) you might enjoy this, but for the rest of us ... you've heard these jokes before.
