Everyone involved seems to have had a pretty good time, but this one looks like it was more fun to make than it is to watch.November 06, 2009

A genuinely funny film packed with acting talent (...) well worth 90 minutes of anyone's time.January 31, 2011
although Clooney's charm factor helps Cassady rise above the caricatures created by the rest of the cast. ... it won't necessarily elevate a mediocre film into one worth watching.September 30, 2011

It's a disappointment.November 06, 2009
This is grizzled, wild-eyed Clooney, not the suave sophisticate, and it's a nice change of pace.
