Review:
This movie is.. horrible. It isn't funny. It is a bunch of actors who used to be funny, trying to still be funny, with a script geared for a much younger generation. The only funny thing is the newly married friend trying to give away non-wanted wedding presents. It is a wanna-be bad-80's-classic. The movie tries too hard and fails miserably. It deserves:
