I haven't seen the first movie in ages, but I recall liking it. This one... it's good, but the humor relies so heavily on our trio being so painfully stupid in order for the story to work, that I had a hard time not wanting them to fail. Really, the saving grace was Jason Bateman, as Nick, who is there to act as a filter for the audience, since he is the only one who isn't a complete moron. Despite all of that, there are plenty of funny moments here; I can't remember what they were, I just remember laughing a few times. That's the other problem: the movie is just forgettable. I need to give the first one another watch. If you're a fan of dumb comedies, you'll dig this.
