Absolute stinker. Not at the movies, not on DVD... no way,
no how.
In the interests of fairness, there was a couple of laughs
but this compilation of short sketches is, broadly speaking, a rotten mess. How it secured the cast it did (Kate Winslet, Naomi Watts,
Richard Gere, Emma Stone, Jason Sudeikis, Gerard Butler, Uma Thurman, Stephen
Merchant, Hugh Jackman... the list really does
go on) is one of the great mysteries of modern cinema.
I overheard another patron in my session (there was six of
us) say at the end “That movie was really confusing”… I felt like saying “Any
time you spend on trying to understand it is precious minutes wasted, lady.”
PS. This film has been widely criticised but the Crikey film
reviewer Luke Buckmaster mounted
a defence which makes an interesting read.
