    Listless but watchable
    In this movie, down-on-her-luck actress Maisie teams up with an annoying comic. In an unlikely twist, this leads them to work for a bottled water company.

    Skelton starts the movie being more annoying than funny, and Maisie's decision to team up with him seems unpersuasive. But then, pretty much everything in this movie seems unpersuasive, and the whole thing feels a little disjointed.

    For the most part the humor is pretty mild, although there is a terrific moment when Skelton discovers he has severe stage fright. A little over halfway through I stopped watching.
