571870, Uneven script but the cast/performances carry it for the most part

I'm usually not a fan of the coked out comedy but Charlie Day & Colin Farrell kill it. Colin could've used a lot more screen time. Day dominates.

Bateman is always great as the straight man & there's no exception here. Sudeikis doesn't quite strike me as a ladies man but he plays it pretty well.

Spaceys swimming with the sharks again but Jennifer Anniston really sinks her teeth into the sluty dentist role. There's one particular scene I hope the ladies recall around Halloween when they need a last minute costume idea.

You can tell Jamie Foxx & everyone else had a lot of fun making the movie which helped my enjoyment when some the jokes were off the mark. If anything it could've been fleshed out more & ran a little longer to allow Farrell & Anniston more time to shine.
