    Not good at all..
    I've just seen this movie and I feel like it's one of the worst I've seen in a while. The writing is terrible, the whole idea of the movie is just silly and it has no substance if you think about it. It should end in like 10 minutes but a ridiculous amount of details and unnecessary events are being integrated into the flick. This movie is supposed to be funny because it's regarded as a comedy but there isn't a single scene that brought a smile to my face. The only attempts were those typical tainted tendencies of American humor ( I don't want to offend anyone here but it's the truth ): sex jokes, swearing, that ain't funny folks.

    I feel like I've wasted one hour and a half of my life by watching this but I don't want to complain. The only reason I kept watching till the end was for Cameron Diaz because she's a good actress but this movie just wasn't for her in my honest opinion.

    My advice is not to waste time on watching it but if you're really bored or want to give it a chance because of Diaz you can but be aware, it isn't a joyful ride.
