One hell of a funny movie; much better than Hangover or H2. And though the material / language was as raunchy, it just seemed to have more of a comical fit in this movie, whereas The Hangover movies dropped bombs just because the writer couldn't think of anything else clever to say. Leave the tweens at home and go see this movie. Jason Bateman is the new "it guy" for male bonding movies. Oh yeah, and Jennifer Aniston is very hott, very hott!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Read a not-so-kind review by some critic in a FL paper, (I live in Little Rock) but decided to go see this flick anyway. So here goes: if you can accept the premise that there are individuals / life forms (either spitual / alien) who control our faiths, then you'll enjoy the movie. I say, open you mind and just go with it. The movie is fast paced and keeps you pulled in the whole time. And unlike the review I read, the plot it NOT complicated at all, you just have to be willing to accept on the front end. Look, there's not much else on that you haven't already seen so go see it. Beside this Emily Blunt is pretty hott.
Sorry, but this movie could have been really good, but instead ended up really lame.
In think that when Peter Jackson lost all of that weight, a lot of his story telling ability went with it.
The movie spends entirely too much time with mudered teen's "in-between-life". Honestly, by the end of this movie I was wishing that the young actress would just go-way already, Enough!
Stanley Tucci is terrific as usual, I'm just sorry ole Peter would get beyond his need for special effects and by-God just make a good movie. At least my popcorn was good,,,,,,,,,
Well if you think that the musical score (in this case from Marvin Hamlish) can actually make a movie funny or at least interesting, then this is the movie for you.
It was just weird listening to either Ragtime or Austin Powers type music accompanying dialogue in which there is absolutely nothing funny or even the least bit humorous. It's as if the director is saying to the audience, "Ok, my movie sucks, but perhaps you'll like this lighthearted musical score that ole' Marvin has cooked up for us". By the way, how may chins does Marvin have by now?
Matt Damon is good, but hardly worth the price of admission.
