i walk in for your consideration with a broad grin and eagerly anticipate the next ingenious christopher guest film . what i get be an unbelievably awful pile of odds and end tie clumsily together by a script that allow little room for guest actor to do their trademark improv work . guest have always be able to transform everyday topic into absurdist slice of hilarity and but here and he fail miserably . his great cast ( fred willard and ricky gervais and eugene levy ) struggle to squeeze some pizzaz out of a mirthless screenplay and but bomb do so . this be simply and the year unfunniest movie . for a film about oscar hooplah and consideration sure would not be see the little golden man this year .
