Came in with some high expectations for this one due to the high praise it seemed to be getting and a trailer full of what appeared to show the making of a good comedy.

Now there were some very funny scenes included and overall Jeffrey Wright is pretty good in his role. Unfortunately these scenes were few and far between and the majority of the film was not a comedy at all, but an entirely different genre that didn't mix so well with what was thought to be the main plot of his writing career. The trailer is incredibly deceptive about the movie.

The film lacked a clear direction and was trying to tell a couple different stories that might have worked on their own, but put together wasn't very cohesive. Ultimately my party was quite frankly bored for most of it aside from the few short fantastic scenes.
