![]() A little gem of humour which I thought was worth mentioning. ![]() A little ironic since every time you guessed what was going to happen next according to what cliche demands, a very different and more realistic reality will occur and Will Ferrell's character will step in and comment on how he (representing the audience) expected that event to turn out. I can't say that they've stumbled upon anything new with the sequence of events though the whole layout screams cliche. I had a fair amount of 'laugh out loud' moments in this movie. I didn't find it to be cheesy American humour resorting to toilet jokes or plain immaturity. There's also plenty of one-liners, slapstick, and general comedic acting that all audiences can relate to and enjoy. But I guess that's what makes this film's humour good there's something for everyone, hence, it's a family movie. Even though some of it was indirect and would have flown over young audience's heads, some of it is blatant and mixed in with a couple curse words, makes the humour a little inappropriate. For a family movie, I feel as though the humour was too sexual at times, especially coming from Wahlberg's character. Let's talk about the humour because that's one of the main aspects of this film with its comedian co-stars.

With Ferrell as a producer on the film, I thought that this film was doomed from its inception. ![]() This movie was better than I expected it to be.
