Who knew Samuel L. Jackson and Eugene Levy would make such a dynamic comic duo?

Laugh? Well, once.

It's the kind of featherweight slot-filler people turn off after 15 minutes on a plane or have on in the background on cable while they vacuum the floor.

Dreadful.

Nobody needed to make it, nobody needs to see it, Jackson and Levy are too successful to waste time with it. It plays less like a film than like a deal.

Arrives in theaters today with a sheet over its head and a tag on its toe. So to speak. What we have here is a complete systemic failure, a comedy that's not funny, with action that's not thrilling.

It's just awful. Pointless, lazy, derivative and paralyzingly dull.
