Not that bad

Maybe it's because I expected this movie to be terrible, but I actually enjoyed it. James Gandolfini was funny and Catherine O'Hara is always good. Hey, it's definitely better than any of the last 5 films Affleck made.

I agree...I watched this the other day and was expecting a crap flick, but I didn't think it was as bad as everyone says.

I heard it wasn't good but I bought a used copy of it for like $10 at a Video Rental store. I watched it I thought it was really funny, kinda hard to believe the story line, but still funny.

BAD SPELLERS OF THE WORLD UNTIE!

I definetly don't think it's as bad as people say.

I think Christina Applegate was the best part of the film.

the movie was pretty funny, but its not the best of afflecks last 5 films. the best would have to be daredevil directors cut. but this movie was a lot better than expected.

This movie is one of the WORST written movies I've ever seen. Then again, most of it wasn't written-Gandolfini admitted they ad-libbed much of the movie.

The plot being so lame doesn't help matter any either.

This movie sorta pwns. It's bs slapstick and it's funny. I can't believe the clowns here actually talking about the acting and the script, like they even matter in these kinds of movies, lol. You're supposed to leave your brain at the door, go in and laugh then peace out and give it a 10 on imdb.
