I enjoyed this film quite a bit. Of course it's far from perfect but it is pretty good the way it is. The movie poster is so misleading because it only shows Vince Vaughn and Kevin James but this is not your typical lighthearted Vaughn/James comedy vehicle but actually an ensemble dramedy with some dark humor. Jennifer Connelly and Winona Ryder are just as important in this film as Vaughn and James, so they should be on the poster. I suspect many people expected a very different, more comedic movie and rated it low because it didn't meet those expectations. The ratings should be higher if you ask me. Give this movie a try if you can enjoy unconventional comedy/drama hybrids.

(Plot) A man finds out that his best friend's wife is having an affair behind his back, and will do anything to uncover the truth. The only thing that truly stuck out about this movie was Channing Tatum's hilarious cameo. Other than that, this movie was exactly how I pictured it was going to be; completely mediocre with very little laughs or fun. How is it that the extremely talented and luscious Jennifer Connelly is in this movie? Its way out of her league, and it was so disappointing to see her waste her talents in this. Same goes for Winona Ryder, even if her career has faltered a bit. I can't stand Kevin James, and I dislike Vince Vaughn. I gave this a chance, hoping I might end up being proved wrong. It turns out my gut instincts were right on this one. It's crude, unfunny, and a film that shows nothing but contempt for its audience. It truly makes me sad that movies like this get released often these days and make copious amounts at the box office. Except this one wasn't so lucky… It bombed somewhat, making only 48 Million.Final Thoughts: If it shows contempt for its intended audience, why not show nothing but contempt back for it? I'm easily amused, and it still didn't get the job done. Not recommended3.5/10

When first reading about this film I did not expect much other than a half-brain-dead flick about two friends facing, well, a dilemma. However, the movie is entertaining and the story-line well written. It could be cause of my low expectations, but I doubt it, I really enjoyed the movie. One thing that bugged me was the friend that finds out that his best friend is having an affair; how he tackled the whole thing, I'd like to see more explanations in the movie, even if we as the watchers don't need them, I don't see how any living person would go through all this without even saying a single word. This might be a spoiler, but it is not. I recommend this movie to anyone that would like an easy-to-watch movie with just enough drama, without it getting too serious and then it just has tons of golden parts to really add to it. Enjoy.

No having seen a trailer for this, I could only go with the stars as to what kind of movie this was. Given the two leads, this seemed to me like it would be a comedy. Sure, Vince Vaughn has done some dramatic roles, but to me he is a comedic actor first, and Kevin James is strictly comedic.After this movie ended, I was confused; was this supposed to be a comedy or a drama? If it was supposed to be a comedy, then it wasn't very funny, and if it was a drama, then it was rather light. Further muddying the waters was Channing Tatum's character, whose personality seems to change with each line; in one he is a violent lunatic, the next he is a touchy-feely type.All in all, this was 110 minutes of wasted time, except for the scenes at Blackhawks games (I'm a fan).
