This movie is really a lot less funny that what I would expect from a funny guy like Owen Wilson... it has few funny jokes, most of the material just falls flat. The gags are also a bit lame, half of the time. It also seems to throw in to much love drama for a supposed comedy. The plot is OK, but the movie goes at such a slow pace that I almost fell asleep out of boredom. It barely entertains at all, using mostly used material. The acting is OK, but nothing special. The humor seems tired and worn out, it rarely gets as much as a smile out of me. It does have a few mildly amusing scenes though, among others, several of the robbery scenes had me laughing a little, at least. The whole romance thing never works when it's worked into the movie as clumsily as it is here. It also seemed so misplaced in this film; it might have worked had it been done with just a little bit more seriousness, in fact, the whole film would have had to have been more serious. Either that, or the romance had to be dumbed down. It just doesn't work well here. I recommend this to fans of Owen Wilson who really love his films, otherwise you probably won't like it much. I know I didn't. 6/10
