Poorly done trailer.

This is just a fantastic comedy. It is like one rolling, snowballing joke so that trailer doesn't do it justice, they had to try and cram in all three bosses and all six main actors into a two minute trailer and just butchered it. The cast is great, even bringing together a couple of my favourite actors from Arrested Development and Sunny in Philadelphia. I imagine the only person that might turn some people off is Jennifer Aniston just because of the types of movies she normally does but she's very good in this movie.

I don't really know what to say here but I would highly recommend this movie if you were looking for a comedy. I don't often buy movies so that I can watch them again at home but this will be one of the rare exceptions.

I can't get over how bad that trailer is compared to how good the movie is.

I thought the trailer was funny as fuck. I would go see it in the theater but I usually reserve that for big budget action movies and superhero flicks.

Saw it.

Dumb as fuck but funny.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something.

Saw it last night. Very funny, but as noted above, lots of stupidity involved in the humor.

Kevin Spacey was great.

Saw this at the drive in (with Bad Teacher, which wasn't nearly as good, but not as bad as I feared). Good actors saved a fairly routine script. I enjoyed it, but I am a huge Bateman and Day fan, so I was biased going in. Jennifer Aniston was very naughty and that was all good as well.

I had zero expectations going in and came away quite pleased.

A nation consists of its laws. A nation does not consist of its situation at a given time. If an individual's morals are situational, then that individual is without morals. If a nation's laws are situational, that nation has no laws, and soon isn't a nation.

Saw this on PPV last night. Funny as fuck! Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?

One of the best buddy comedys I have seen in a long long time.
And to be honest the parts with Jennifer Aniston were pretty hot.

The part with the two guys "cleaning" the cocaine had me rolling.
Two thumbs up.
