SUCH a funny, talented, accomplished cast

Between Jennifer Aniston, Jason Bateman, Olivia Munn, Kate McKinnon, Vanessa Bayer, Jillian Bell, Courtney B. Vance, T.J. Miller, Rob Corddry, Randall Park, Jamie Chung, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Fortune Feimster, Sam Richardson, this film must have ONE of the most accomplished comedic ensembles ever.

And yet even with all these hilarious actors and actresses, the film couldn't get past the "bland, unfunny, predictable, cliched studio comedy" phase. I'm not even putting this on the script or the director because the concept was actually rather strong and super-relatable, the exact hook that is required for a big comedy hit - and money, well that this film can still make, I'm sure - but for some reason the whole thing just felt rushed af. Maybe if they spent more time in post-production, it could have been actually a good/great comedy but in it's current form, its only saving grace is a kick-ass (literally) Aniston and certain line deliveries courtesy of the aforementioned, supremely talented cast.

10/5

All I can say is "OKAY". I can't stand people that think actors acting stupid is actually funny. There are better ways of being funny and stupid is not one of them. All these so called comedy are crude, rude, and drinking it up to be stupid, hoping it is funny. The ones that think it is funny are the ones that always go to a party to get drunk.

Rated R Horror movies are better, no matter the argument.

Lighten up...
The first 1/2 hour or so had some good laughs, but then it got serious, dark, weird and desperate. Reviews were bad and rightly so. Wait for cable...

i thought it was mostly enjoyable, and funny at times. cast was great, but they were put in such typical roles.
