Plot/Summary,Vince Vaughn and Kevin James headline an all-star comedy from director Ron Howard and producer Brian Grazer about a man who finds out that what you don't say to a friend is just as important as what you do.

My Review.

I love the actors in this movie Kevin James Vince Vaungh and Jennifer Conelly. And yet all of them are wasted in this movie. It revolves around a guy played by Vince Vaughn and his friend played by Kevin james has a wife who is cheating on him. This movie had the potential to be good which is why I wanted and went to see it. The drama in this film works well and if it was just a drama then it may have worked in it's entirety. But it trys to be a comedy as well which then kills all the drama. All the humor is out of place and is borderline insufferable While the drama try's to be all serious. In a nutshell this is one of those movies that just dosen't know what it wants to be. Ron Howard has never made a film this bad.
