[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 378593, member: 8"] [ATTACH type="full"]49022[/ATTACH] DUMB AND DUMBER meets OFFICE SPACE. The story isn't funny (let alone original) the characters aren't funny (and often frustratingly stupid) but it's got lots of funny details that made me laugh out loud. Like this National Lampoon-esque "leaving the parking lot" scene. [ATTACH type="full"]49023[/ATTACH] Or the Bond villain-esque "button to shut the door electronically" in Jennifer Aniston's office. But because there's so much going on, dialogue and action-wise, I felt a numbness kicking in after the first half hour - and I checked out 30 minutes later. Of the main characters I only know Jason Bateman and he can play this kind of role in his sleep. Kevin Spacey is the other actor who looks a bit typecast as the super-villainous boss. It's OK but also very much a comedy for the heck of it. There's a thread about films that "you want to fix" and I think this film could have been better - without changing anything - by keeping some stuff in the background and putting other stuff in the spotlight.
