How sad is this?
Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
The acting in this movie is really good.
I watched this based on IMDB; Goldie Hawn, Joan Cussack, even Tom Bateman (great in DaVinci's Demons) and Christopher Meloni (Law & Order: SVU). What's not to like? Unfortunately, when it came to the script it's a paint by numbers comedy; bit of nudity, bit of misunderstanding a heavy foreign accident, some light hearted macabre actions, make fun of the attractiveness of the actresses. For me though, the most annoying aspect of the film is that Joan Cussack doesn't have a speaking role, though as she's paired with Wanda Sykes she makes up for both of them. The pay off at the end of the film is predictable, but nice to watch and if you realise that's coming through out the film it makes it slightly easier to watch. I could see it being issued by the government to all first time American travellers going to far flung foreign places; if you get in trouble, this is what we do (at least the first hour of the film, anyway)
All i could say is i would love to get my time back in life i wasted watching this crap. DO NOT WATCH IT!
Which is a shame, because I have been a fan of Goldie Hawn ever since the Laugh In days and "Overboard" and "Private Benjamin" are pearls of my film collection. But this film doesn't work on any level, despite a few funny moments, and most of it is painful to watch - it's too weak even to be offended by; just a huge disappointment.
Too bad this couldn't be rated in negative numbers. It was a complete disappointment. Where is the real Goldie Hawn? Bad acting, directing, script, you name it. Except for the plot idea, oh, and the trailer - that was good.
