Watched this the other day. It was solid, but kind of forgettable. So much of cinematic comedy is so dreadful these days, that when something comes along that is at least fitfully amusing and not embarassingly bad it’s easy to overrate it (for instance, the work of Apatow and friends, and Anchorman, and Tropic Thunder, none of which are bad, but none of which are The Jerk or Monty Python, either). So Galifianakis is great, and Ed Helms is pretty good (though overshadowed by Galifianakis). But not much of it was laugh-out-loud, and a lot of it was pretty comedy-by-numbers.

But at least it’s not Friedberg and Seltzer, right?

There’s some all-time great comedy on television right now, but I don’t think I’ve seen a comedy movie that I’d add to the canon in quite a while. Maybe Borat, though I’ve only watched it twice and I fear it won’t have much replay value. Anyway, this I give a Good, But.
