Review:

Wayne Davidson: My name's Wayne by the way. I'm a nudist.
George: Oh yes, we noticed your penis earlier.

I do like it when I laugh a lot during a comedy. The funny thing about this film is that I did laugh a lot during it, yet it is hard for me to say that I really loved it. I liked it for sure, it has Paul Rudd being incredibly charming, smarmy, and just plain silly, along with a very talented supporting cast; all with moments to shine. The film is also just plain bizarre at times, fitting in having little moments that I can appreciate based on my own tastes. Still, even as a smile remained on my face, the structure of this film has its faults, not feeling like a seamless experience, as it reaches its inevitable plot beats. Were the premise to be strong enough to go somewhere more interesting, this film could have relied on more than just humorous moments from its cast, but as it stands, it does provide enough humorous moments from the cast, which is just fine.
