Comments:

Every indicator that this would be a worthless movie told me that this would be a worthless movie. I ignored them all. I thought, “Hey, I like Aaron Eckhart and Jessica Alba, and Elizabeth Banks is good in Scrubs. Surely the experts are all wrong.” Nope. I was. I wrote this review for one reason. So that you don’t have to watch this movie. It is properly R rated, though probably at the lower end of that scale, honestly. But seriously, don’t be misled by the fact that Blockbuster has 100 copies. They’re hoping you won’t read any reviews of it or notice the $60 K in total box office this movie made. Sorry, Aaron Eckhart, I’ll try not to hold this against you too much.
