If you just want a movie that will let you sit there and not think, go see Despicable Me.
if you want a movie that makes you think, analyze and interprett then go see this movie.
Great story, great cast, great concept.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Maybe because I haven't seen many trailers for this movie, I was not ready for the plot line at all. I won't write a spoiler here.
I found the movie funny at times and, admittedly, it was the juvenile humor that made me chuckle, but that humor could have been delivered by anyone. I expected better from Carell and Fey. Maybe they just can't act out of their comfort zone?
The plot was kind of dumb. it tried to mix drama (failed) with humor (failed) with romance (failed). Maybe if they tried only two of those it could have worked but it was a reach for this movie to hit all three.
Full disclosure... my wife thought it was a very funny movie and liked it alot.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Kind of predictable. They could have done so much better with the characters. Steve Martin was barely funny. Alec Baldwin could have been a little deeper. Lake Bell should have been used more.
John Krasinski stole EVERY scene he was in. He was easlily the best actor in the movie.
And the whole idea about celebrating an affair didn't turn me on. Granted Lake Bell was supposed to be a b!tch, but then they show how she was hurt in the end.
The only laugh out load part was when they were all smoking weed. Other than that, I want those 2 hours of my life back.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

just OK

I can only give this movie two stars for a couple of reasons.
First, there's only so many times you can watch A Christmas Carol. Cartoon version, George C. Scott version, etc... So from a story line, meh.
Second, seeing 3D in a regular theatre is like driving a Porche around your neighborhood. 3D has a lot of potential and seeing it where you can exploit that potential (like DisneyWorld's 3D theatre) is a great experience. But at a regular theatre is is just OK.
Probably a good movie for kids 8 and up but if you are an adult, you may not enjoy it as much as the kids.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
