CINEMA: Regal Green Valley Ranch Stadium 10, Henderson, NV
AUDITORIUM: 8
PRESENTATION: Sony 4K DLP
PRESENTATION PROBLEMS: None [Cool]

RATING: Two and one half stars (out of four)

THE PLOT: Their brother is an idiot. Wackiness ensues.

Really? We've gotten to the point where we're hiding car brand badges on the grills of vehicles? Well we are at the beginning of the movie. Not so much towards the end. One of the same vehicles they masked the badge on was later wide open. They didn't even try to make the masking look professional. There's a GMC with a blatant black piece of something simply sitting over the logo on the grill.

This movie was marketed as a comedy, right? Because it's pretty much the saddest fucking comedy I've ever seen. It's basically a movie about a really nice dopey guy who everybody shits over all the fucking time. And then at the end there's a series of completely inexplicable reconciliations. Yay.

Zooey Deschanel makes out with a chick about a half dozen times, though. So there's that.

(EDIT I CAN'T EDIT): That should read Sony 4K Digital, not DLP, of course.
