It's rare that a film disappoints so much as this one.
The main reason for this is because you see the talent involved. Simon Pegg! The Monty Python team! Robin Williams! All of whom sadly seem to have left their comedy timing on the bus on route to the film set.
This is childish, unfunny stuff from start to finish. It feels like a teen novel stretched too far, with a misleading array of stars conning you into thinking it will get better when it really doesn't.
Pegg's Mr Likable persona is getting tired, and the script doesn't help him lift this film beyond average.
The one small highlight is Robin Williams, who we all miss dearly. He steals every scene he's in.
