Insipid. Leoni is a very bad actress. Further, the storyline is ludicrous. Certain movies make you feel worse for having watched them. This is one of those.

The fresh material -- blood-drawing jabs at the hallowed institution of B&B's -- is overpowered by the stale: the caricatured Jewish couple, the pop-song montage, the bonking with a frying pan. The term "screwball comedy" will inevitably come to mind, prudently to be followed by a reminder that that's just a label, not a laurel.

Determinedly offbeat and full of comic twists, not all of which pay off; still, a cut above the norm for contemporary comedy. Moore and Segal make a great neurotic Jewish couple, matched by Tomlin and Alda as middle-aged flower children.

Utterly baffling, bewildering farce has absolutely no handle on reality, and is populated by generally unfunny, overdrawn caricatures -- though Jenkins is a hoot as an officious pest, and Alda and Tomlin have a few nice moments as ageing hippies. Overall though, its reliance on overdone eccentricity sinks it (exemplified by the embarassingly bad performances by Segal and Moore.)

Just misses out on being a really good comedy but still well worth the watch. Leoni is the weak spot but the rest of the cast actually all work well.

Too much self indulgent improv and not enough script to keep me happy. Laughed a few times but with this cast it should've been much better. Another David O. Russell disappointment.

Attempt at modern-day screwball comedy that doesn't really work. Kind of interesting, but mainly for some of the casting, e.g. George Segal still keeping up his "neurotic New York Jew" act all these years later
