What it's about: It's like PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES, but shitty.
Thoughts Before Viewing: I’m a fan of Robert Downey Jr. and I’m a fan of Zach Galifianakis but for some reason I'm not really looking forward to this. The trailer was OK, and I knew I would be seeing it opening day (a friend who never goes to the movies was going to be in town and wanted me to tag along to see if with him). Hopefully my low expectations will make this movie enjoyable.
Thoughts After Viewing: The movie was OK, but so much has been shown in the trailers that I think it hurt this movie. Well, for me it did anyway; the theater wasn’t packed but everybody there was laughing at those jokes like it was the first time they’ve seen them. I got two big laughs out of the movie, and both of them involved Robert Downey Jr., as he was great in this movie. Mr. Galifianakis? Not so much. Maybe it’s one of those comedies that gets better with multiple viewings, although I don’t plan on watching this again anytime soon, so I’ll just have to take other people's word for it.
Movie Total: 446
