I cannot believe that somebody (or somebodies) allowed the making of this for 13,000,000. They would have been better off to go out into the woods with the money and burn it.
There's not a single likable character in the whole film. All of them are what I call "Darwin Award" winners (for service to humanity by removing themselves from it). Unfortunately, none of the main characters gets killed. They just go on with their idiotic behaviour.
Is this what the "film" makers are trying to say: That the world is just full of alcoholic, gambling addicted thieves and killers, and we have to get used to it to survive? Even the Catholic Church?
In short, neither clever nor funny (okay, one genuinely funny scene with the ring - but highly improbable). And it took 5 (!) production companies to get this mess made. Maybe that's what it was - an elephant designed by a committee that came out an aardvark (with apologies to aardvarks).
Too bad there aren't negative ratings here. I expect this to win all sorts of razzies from wherever they give them out.
