A genuinely terrible movie. A wafer thin plot supported by a cast that doesn't get out of first gear.
I literally only laughed once, and that was thanks to a very small cameo by the always hilarious (just looking at his face cracks me up) Kumail Nanjiani. He's a very funny man who deserves his own lead in a movie or two.
Diaz and Segal are cringeworthy to the extreme. Nowadays, it seems that script writers and actors think that the more a character can swear, the "edgier" and funnier they are. This movie proved that premise patently false. Also, seeing two forty-somethings going so hard "at it" is cringe inducing - and I'm a forty-something myself.
Cameron Diaz's face looks like someone left an apple in the sun for a week too long. Her arse is still quite fine though.
In addition to the terrible plot, terrible premise and terrible acting, the entire 90 minutes is essentially a thinly disguised advertisement for Apple. So much blatant product placement and frothy product endorsement. I'm wondering if the Apple execs are regretting their decision given how much of a steaming turd the movie is...
Please, don't watch this. Phone your parents and chat to them for an hour. Take your dog for a walk. Go fishing. Drink alcohol until you can't feel feelings. Curl up in the fetal position and cry for an hour and a half. All are preferable to sitting through this. Do whatever it takes to avoid this disaster.
