I'm sorry but I don't believe most of these reviewers know a good comedy when they see one.
My partner and me went to see this in America on it's day of release and thought that this was the funniest movie that has been out in a few years!
It's very rare that you find a film where the whole cinema is laughing out loud and groaning at all the disgusting parts.
Well worth a look and you will find yourself talking about it well after the movie has finished!
Stiller at his finest!!!
P.S. Don't see Ratatouille as it's a big let down.

A shame - the trailer was the best thing about this film. There is no doubt that Stiller's annoyance at the continued "de-de-de-de" mexican band's intrusion on his honeymoon provokes a near-insane reaction and that a champagne cork to the forehead is of course great viewing for all of a few seconds.
The real fact of the matter here is that this film is almost desperate to play on some of Stiller's previous comic form. The story is poor and delivered in a staggered and boring method. The couple of 'funny' moments employed in this film are quickly lost and leave you feeling that the £6.10 ticket could have been better spent on perhaps Saw 4 or something else except...it's all too late to change your mind and you end up praying that the film takes a more interesting and chortle-provoking direction over the next 20/30/40/50 minutes. Alas, you will not find this direction - it does not exist. Watch this only if you are a die-hard Stiller fan who cannot be convinced that even a 'Meet the Fockers' style character cannot save a ship that sank before it left the port.
Dissapointment will plague your very soul with this film if you find yourself believing the trailer's best intentions.

Oh deary me. A great movie to watch....if your drunk. We only went to see it because there was nothing else good on, and we had seen Superbad (a by far superior film). Its a good idea in concept, but the plot line dragged on for way too long and was in dire need of more deleted scenes. Whilst there was one hilarious scene set in the honeymoon suite, there is one near the end (the scene when he's broken into her bedroom. You'll know the one I mean when you see it) that is just stupid and illogical to the extreme, but not even in a funny way. If your bored, have already seen Superbad, there is nothing else good on and you perhaps like Ben Stiller, then by all means go. But if you want a night out of the best entertainment, give it a miss.
