My Opinion: I tried to like this movie. I really tried. And there were points when I did. I thought "Oh, crap, Puff Daddy and Columbo are in a movie together." I thought Peter Falk sucked, personally... Puffy was actually okay. Jon plays it tough while Vince plays it annoying. I personally love Vince, but in this movie, frankly, I wanted to beat his brains out. He achieved his character goal without issue. The plot went a little slow and I lost count of the usage of the word 'fuck' after about the 1,739th one. I think if you have to overuse that word, you're trying to cover up for something. Hmm... I don't know. It had some good points, but overall, it was disappointing after all of its "rave reviews." If you do watch it, look for the stars' parents. The football coach is Vince Vaughn's father and the woman at the penguin display in the zoo is Jon Favreau's mother.
Final Rating: 4 Stars
