4/5
Little disappointed in this film. It had it's moments but I didn't find it consistently funny - it's almost as if audiences have been so starved for a good comedy they jumped at the first decent one to come along in awhile.
I actually found this one to be pretty funny. I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. That being said, it wasn't entirely great, but still well worth the watch I thought and carried plenty of laughs.
I will say, though, that this really has nothing on Ted in terms of "comedy of the year" potential. I'd highly recommend that one.
I'll never be a fan of Tatum really, but I don't hate on him like so many do. I can understand why this role would sell someone on not hating Tatum anymore. He does show he has some comedic and acting chops of sorts here. However, what you see from him here is something I already noticed back in his cameo role in The Dilemma.
