I guess the idea for this was to cast a male lead that is so annoying, unlikable and sleezy and to have the male lead feature in every scene for long enough for the audience to despair that the end is not happening fast enough. Enter Justin Long to play himself.
Not only does Justin Long irritate the viewer with his very poor delivery and over the top ham-fisted acting chops, but he delivers his performance in a completely unselfconscious way - as if he thinks he is really nailing it. He does not.
The female leads are a bit better but only because they look so good and so the terrible script, lack of wit, the barely credible set up and juvenile plotting, can be temporarily overlooked.
Unfortunately, Long's performance in this piece of fluff is so bad that I will be reluctant to every invest in anything with his name attached to it.
