Summary by www.netflix.com


Ouch, this movie bites. It starts with the two characters in marriage counseling because they're bored with their marriage and lives, but the movie's first 45 minutes is as boring as their marriage. It just lies lifeless on the screen until it explodes with senseless, repetitive, boring violence. I really expected this movie to have a lot of humor, which would have made it fun. There are a few moments here and there, mostly from Vince Vaughn's character, but for the most part it's either drab and dumb or bombastic and dumb. For people who care (not me), this is the movie that broke up Brad and Jennifer? Yuck. --Bill Alward, December 19, 2005
