This Was Bad... REALLY Bad... EVEN TERRIBLE...

To be honest, I didn't watch the movie on my own free will. I was forced by my family, who every year at Christmas we watch a movie together and when they picked this one out I was ready to slap them all. I had no intentions whatsoever of seeing this movie, but I did, and when it was over, I wish I hadn't. It was SO unfunny and a complete waste of time. The acting sucked, script was probably found in the trash, comedy - don't even go there - and it hardly was entertaining. I still have to admit that there have been worse and with all the problems I had with this move, I respected it and gave it a little slack because I'm not THAT into movies like these, but overall it was a flop. I hated it and never want to see it again.
