What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This movie sucked. End of review. No stars given. Complete waste of time.

Oh man, this was a dreadfully bad movie! I just stumbled upon it and even though it wasn't reviewed well, I liked the premise. I wasn't expecting much, but I thought I was going to get at least a little something from it. This movie takes a funny premise and essentially takes the least funny angle on every element within the movie with an over the top cartoonishly silly approach. It's a premise that needs to be treated with an element of realism that ties into the reality we are familiar with… as a result jokes would land harder and overall it would be a more enjoyable experience. This movie gives us nothing that is relatable to our world. You couldn't try to make this movie any less funny. This movie should be rated much lower than a 5.9 on IMDb. The vast majority of the humor in this movie is sooooo cringe worthy unfunny. Sure, there are a few moments that made me laugh, but if you throw enough crap at the wall some of it's bound to stick, but it's amazing how little does. The whole storyline associated with that art dude was sooooo insanely unfunny on every level. Steve Carrell's/Barry's big theme to his character is, he creates art with dead mice…. He uses the mice to depict famous/historical people (Benjamin franklin, Jesus, etc). Seriously! That's the funniest thing they could come up with? I mean 1/5th of the movie is dedicated to this mouse joke…. I guess it's a joke? What were they thinking? The whole girlfriend/relationship storyline was painfully cliché and beyond cringeworthy and of course is consistent with being over the top silly. And the whole ex-girlfriend or whatever she was…. Seriously? Oye Vey! The Swedish couple…. redic! Then the move finally gets to the dinner and makes the audience suspend disbelief. We're supposed to believe that all the business big wigs were really enamored with Barry's weirdness as though he was a huge riot, but none of it occurred while we were watching it. He really wasn't that weird in comparison to the others and his big display with the mice wasn't really that bizarre or funny? Who knows, I'm done? This is such a repugnant piece a crap of a movie and the director and writers should be ostracized and never allowed to be a part of any creative process ever again.

OK. First I want to begin by saying how pathetic everyone here looks when pretending to be a movie critic. Well, let me tell you something, you don't understand anything from movies, and next time you are about to give 1 or 2 stars on a movie like this, consider throwing your DVD player away, because you don't deserve to own one. This was the most entertaining and touching movie I have seen in a while. I love Steve Carell and he did not disappoint as well as the rest of the cast. Why did I give this movie a 10 star rating? Because it delivered what I expected, because it made me and the people around me laugh and because this movie deserves a higher rating. Simple as that, that's all I want to say.Try having fun and stop being miserable with your fake ratings.

This movie may not be the "best" movie out there, but it is fun and enjoyable if you have an easy-going sense of humor, instead of looking for Oscar in everything. Some great laughs and an all around fun time when viewing this movie. I believe that Steve Carrel was honestly perfect for this character and Paul Rudd portrayed the stressed office worker as you would imagine he does. Please give this movie a go and if you don't like it please don't rate it badly because others may. I almost didn't try this movie because of the rating on here buy I am very very glad that I did because it was very enjoyable.I can't stress enough hoe much this movie is great. I have to write extra lines so that this website will accept this review, and I want all of you to get to see it. If you are in this just for a chilled out laugh, rather than one that it is over criticised and analysed, then this movie is highly appropriate
