Thoughts: Here’s an example of a movie that’s either going to soar to great heights or crash and burn in terrible fashion. Judging from the preview, the jury’s still out on which direction it will go. It certainly has a game cast that has the combined talents to make this iffy material work. Speaking of the material, is it just me or does this seem like a rejected idea from a sketch on Saturday Night Live? A director who hasn’t helmed a major motion picture guiding A-list stars always makes me pause – so here’s hoping that the screenplay by John Francis Daley/Jonathan Goldstein (Horrible Bosses) has the laughs in it that the trailer promises.
