Went to see this film because I'm a huge fan of George, but not even he saved this film - not very funny and actually boring in some places. A dull history lesson in the evolution of the rules of American Football. The plot was terrible - it was impossible to be interested in the conclusion of the film or in any of the characters.
Following a night of debauchery, two strangers (Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher) get married, but the morning after proves to be more eventful than expected after wining $3 million dollars.
