I actually didn't like this movie, just a heads up to all that are planning to see this, there's at least one dissenter. Almost every joke was the same, buildup->mishap or unexpected silly execution of the payoff. It would be good a few times, but that was the basis for almost every joke. A few jokes were great, most notably "dark bidding" and the virgin-sandwich-thing, but most was really bland bickering. It was way too long, and it's not even long, even at about 1,5 hours it feels padded.

Yeah, that's how jokes work.

That's just one way of getting laughs, and you can't base practically ALL your jokes on it, it get's samey real quick, it got tiring.

It's called consistency and it isn't a bad thing at all. The humor isn't for you, that's all.

They didn't. There's a lot of humorous dialogue.

Let's be bad guys.

Touche, Prime Minister!!

I thought the film was hilarious, but then that's why they make chocolate and vanilla!
