This movie was beyond awful. It was almost like watching an SNL skit and waiting for the satire to kick in but it never happened. All I can say about this actually making it on air ( even for Lifetime) is that somebody must've owed someone a huge favor. Either that or they were so far into budget that they had no choice but to air it and hope curiosity would draw enough viewers to save it. This movie was so bad I actually found myself laughing near the end. The ridiculousness of seeing Wil Ferrells character shot twice (once two inches above the heart) and then get up and carry on with the energy of a marathon runner was priceless. A first year film student would've been advised to switch majors if they tried to put something like this on a roll of digital tape. And as for the acting throughout? I can only blame the director, because I know Ferrell and Wiig have talent. And as lousy as the actual dialogue was, the only thing worse was the delivery. For the director to not yell "cut" every ten seconds was a travesty. Rest assured if there's a Razzy category for this work, the staff should blow the dust off their tuxedos. Because you're a shoe-in. I normally wouldn't exert this much time in a negative review, but after subjecting myself to two hours of torture delivered by two of my favorite comedic actors, I was compelled to rip this tripe apart!!!
