Well it certainly was promising...Seinfeld, McCarthy, Gaffigan, etc., and a host of others, many of whom regularly deliver quality comedy. I have to say, though, it was downright boring. The plot plods along at a steady pace, but there's no exciting climax, no witty banter, no laughs. A couple of smiles were all they got out of me. Many of the characters were meant to be funny, but were definitely not. I even paused the movie around an hour to see how much time was left. Some may be saddened (like myself) for the riot scene, but most will be as bored as I was. I found myself checking the ages of the stars as a way to pass the time. The runaway kid was the best part of the whole movie, but he wasn't on long enough to carry it. Sorry Jerry.
