Watching this fine cast try to work in this silly movie made me embarrassed for everyone except those who had parts too brief to do them much damage, and, of course, Enver Gjokaj who acquitted himself well by playing Jake the Butthead straight and thereby getting the most genuine laughs.
Most of the "jokes" just weren't funny and didn't make any sense, which is interesting since that is what is said about the main character at one point. A little autobiography then from writer-director Anton King? I like Fran Kranz and Dichen Lachman but their roles and dialog were awful. Kranz's character does variations on the same joke over and over. Lachman's character, the epitome cool combined with cluelessness, is not that interesting. There might be something universal about relationships buried here but it was obscured and trivialized here.
