I hate to be a party pooper but this kind of sucked ass tbh, not nearly as cringe as 30 𝘔𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘳 𝘓𝘦𝘴𝘴 but cut from the exact same cloth of horribly aged 4chan-esque incel humor drudges as that one and many other comedies from this era which thankfully have died off at least a fair amount since then. What was once a revolutionary punch of action and comedy is now totally trite and mostly unfunny, I can count the amount of times I laughed on one hand (mostly thanks to Bill Murray's rightfully loved cameo). And all that is fine and dandy whatever, but did it have to look like ass too? I also find it endlessly ironic that the Eisenberg character - designed to be the most obnoxious one - easily comes off as the most tolerable out of this quartet of unlikable twats. When it isn't achingly boring it's misogynistic, not only forming this abrupt relationship which I just cannot buy solely to have these paper-thin women characters bend to the wills of and/or be in debt to the men - but the men also happen to be the only dynamic ones here, giving *them* the choice to save or not save these misdirected women in the end who couldn't just abandon their own plans to stay with them. At least it finally wakes up in the last 15 minutes with that pretty goddamn fun carnival setpiece but despite there being a flicker of an interesting premise here I'd just prefer to leave this dated "did it for teh lulz" 'humor' in 2009.
