Grade: C-
Ok,... So, the description sounds funny, right? And, it's got Zach Galifainakis in it, and he's a funny dude, so this should be pretty good, right? Well,... unfortunately that is not so much the case with this one. Perhaps my expectations were a bit to high going into it, leaving me feeling a little let down in the laughter department. The only redeeming quality about this movie was that the storyline itself was an original idea, and definitely an interesting concept, but the execution was far too slow moving, and just seemed to take too long to get to anything of substance. I wouldn't really suggest this, nor would I endorse it, but, it was a decent idea, and the acting itself was not bad, so it's not completely lacking worth watching at all.
