The Good
Jennifer Anniston shows us how truly funny she can be in this film. I know Friends was a comedy, but it was situational. This instead allows her to shine as an individual comedian.
By extension, the chemistry between Anniston and Adam Sandler is on fire. Not in a way that makes you wonder why they’re not together from the start, but there’s a friendship foundation that has the potential of something more triggered.
The Bad
Sweet Bailee Madison and her deliberately bad accent. I want to punch her every time she gets her ‘pip pip’ on.
The Ugly
Nicole Kidman is normally a sure thing for a quality performance, but this is beyond cringe-worthy. Her character is nasty, and totally worthy of naming a bowl movement after. Just when you think she cannot get worse, the hula competition happens.
Eddie and the sheep CPR was just not needed. As much as I want to like Nick Swardson and he does have a certain comic talent, I just really don’t find it funny.
Final Thoughts
A easy film to watch for when you just need to turn your brain off.
