Reel Talk:

This movie should have been called "While We're Still Awake" because this was one boring movie that didn't make any sense at all and if you can stay awake that would be a miracle. I was very disappointed since I believed that it would be humorous with the comedic Ben Stiller starring in it, but it was neither funny nor dramatic, it was just like the movie that Stiller's character was trying to film...WHACK! It just amazes me how some movies can even get a budget to be made when you have so many better and worthwhile scripts that get dumped in the waste basket. Well this movie would be a waste of your time and money so please don't waste either.
