Lame Ferrell, through some weird freak of his talent, tends to be the best Ferrell, and despite the film’s general mediocrity in most departments – let us swish briskly over everything about the way it looks – his floundering star turn delivers the goods.

If it all ends in cornball reconciliation, the dumb, fuzzy smile it leaves suggests it’s well earned.

Village Voice
The performers are all skilled enough to make something of this tired material.

Ferrell and Wahlberg are both game, but the material only sporadically lets them let loose and do something truly creative, while poor Cardellini transitions from naggy to unreliable.

The Guardian
It’s by-numbers filmmaking that rarely adds up to anything worth the price of admission.
