Having seen it now, I'm not that bothered by it. It's not a must rush out and see film, in fact you could go your whole life without seeing it and wouldn't make much difference. But if you're board then I'd say it does kill some time.
It wasn't a bad film, it just wasn't a great film, and didn't live up to my expectations at all. And it's been a while since I've been let down by my expectations of a film, after Avatar and Micmacs exceeded them by lightyears.
I did find the film lost the excitement about halfway through and I did actually find it quite boring for a while, but luckily it picked back up again before the end.
I think the reason I was disappointed with the film overall though was because I found that the trailer made the film out to be quick and witty and exciting. However, I found that all the funny lines from the funny scenes were in the trailer, which meant that a scene which I thought would only be 10 seconds long, was more like 10 minutes long and I simply found myself waiting for the punch line which I'd already heard, so had lost most of it's humour anyway.
Ultimately the film could have been half the length for that exact reason, and I think I would have enjoyed it much more. A half hour version would have been much more exciting.
Although I still don't think the ending would have been any stronger. I wouldn't call it weak, but... it wasn't amazing.
To conclude, if you've got nothing better to do then give it a shot, but otherwise wait for the DVD, if that.
