What is the meaning of the line”Its time to show the donkey the snake”?

This movie was so bad it doesn’t even deserve a star. I’m a Vince Vaughn fan and I loved most of the movies he’s been in; but this is pure trash. He should stay away from writing completely.

I was looking forward to a really funny movie and then when i started watching it it was like, what the hell is this? It didn’t even seem like a comedy most of the way through. it was so bad in parts i thought it was a joke. and they had funny talented people in it, too. writing was just crap.

Whoever this reviewer is…is probably on the payroll…..theyre trying to dress up this tragedy of a movie…shame on you!!!…This movie is a dumpster fire…..and comparing the yoga instructor to mclovin is deplorable…..this movie is upsetting but reading a good review for this movie is just kick me in the nuts angering

There were a good few funny bits in this movie, as you can expect from vince vaughn but the camera work was shoddy! the microphone was in the picture practically the whole way through the film! i cannot believe it.!The story line is not all that great either but I bet it was great thing to film on that island VERY BEAUTIFUL!

I think one important point to identify is is not just that this film didn’t establish what it was trying to be, but instead, didn’t succeed becasue it tried to be something that it was not…which was a Judd Apatow film.

More couples therapy sessions could have been used (to take advantage of the cameos) and less Eden West/Trudy plot would have been an improvement.

John nailed the flaws but I’ve got some other points in case anyone’s interested:

5/10? I thought it was about a 7 (unless you go halfies, then a solid 6.5). Not sure what you can really expect from an American movie, John, since they really go crank out generic flicks for the (dare I say it) less intelligent movie crowd. With most of what comes out of Hollywood, you really do have to suspend belief and logic, since everything will ALWAYS work out in the end (OK… 99% of the time) and, like you mention, conveniently wrapped up in the last 5 min.

My biggest pet-peeves were really limited to the ending, but more so with VV’s character. He did a mostly good job, but I found myself thinking that he’s become the Al Pacino of comedy, where he does a great job through the movie then has to have his little “speech” moment.

Still, I enjoyed it, and am glad to have spent my money on it.

Hi best movie was Old School

I love it when the guys getting married, and his wife is walking up, and Vince covers a cough with:

“Dont do it! COUGH” I almost peed my pants lol

“Youre getting married? well, say goodbye to all the pussy in the world”

And his son’s earmuffs xD
