User Reviews

Despite a fine lead performance by Jim Gaffigan, this dark comedy about the misadventures of a philandering middle-aged dad with two families often falls flat thanks to a screenplay that misses opportunities for wicked laughs, attempts to make light of situations that aren't funny and tries too hard to generate sympathy for a protagonist undeserving of it. What's more, the film at times verges on becoming too complicated for its own good, mistakenly confusing excessive complexity with screwball pacing. This picture's premise had a lot of potential but, regrettably, just can't pull it off successfully.
