Seeing the star cast- I was excited, clooney, bradd pit are names enough that one can pick up for a watch. I was also interested because it mentioned that its a comedy movie and was wondering how come bradd pit and clooney are in a comedy movie together, hence the curiosity factor made me decide to watch it for sure


For the first 20 minutes, was kind of interesting with a semblance of a comedy movie build up.Once past that, it was more like a slapstick show and no story developing.


Bradd pit is completely wasted in this role- wonder what made him even take it up?Clooney has been the only saving grace with some sort of a decent performance. Francis McDormand is not even visible almost, not even once I could laugh in her entire acting.


At the end one is left feeling- was I watching a comedy show or an amateur display of putting some good names together and nothing more. This movie is a total waste unless you like the kind of weird comedy the directors are known for...
