Not all comedies are going to be a quipping Woody Allen flicks. But something good and properly stupid can be just the right thing when you need to take a respite. And there's nothing wrong with a good documentary know and then either. If you want to think about what you're watching, or enjoy good story development, or simply see some great acting then there are plenty of movies like Rashomon, Eraserhead, The Man from Earth, Memories of Murder, Hitchcock films, Miyszaki films, or something like Life Is Beautiful or It's A Wonderful Life(I forget which is which, both great). A post-viewing critique is pointless because the directors have no intention of it being able to hold up on creative or any kind of artistic merit. Sometime you just want to turn off your brain for an hour and a half and watch two familiar "actors" play out ridiculous but easy enough to grasp scenarios while they foolishly react. When I watch a comedy like this that's what I hope for. 'It's aimless drivel and only for mindless idiots'. All these reviews are bashing the crap out of this movie.
