rosta_z If it's in ENGLISH without subtitles, it always gets a 5 star rating. That said, that is all I can give this. Terrible movie. Stupid at its core. Even though its in english, I was compelled to give it a 3 star rating.

pogoddess Not only is it hilarious, it has a great message. To be able to tell a meaningful story about friendship, acceptance and triumph over adversity surrounded by physical comedy and ridiculous characters isn't easy to do. This one nails it!

OneEightNine Media You know what? This movie isn't a total write off. I have zero idea why this is ranked so low. It is a comedy and it does the job of making you laugh in some parts. Is it a great comedy? Heck no. But it is not awful. Maybe fans of the French version are upset about this not living up to its namesake. Whatever, I haven't watched the original.

nlytnd_1 Oh man, this was a dreadfully bad movie! I just stumbled upon it and even though it wasn't reviewed well, I liked the premise. I wasn't expecting much, but I thought I was going to get at least a little something from it. This movie takes a funny premise and essentially takes the least funny angle on every element within the movie with an over the top cartoonishly silly approach. It's a premise that needs to be treated with an element of realism that ties into the reality we are familiar with… as a result jokes would land harder and overall it would be a more enjoyable experience. This movie gives us nothing that is relatable to our world. You couldn't try to make this movie any less funny. This movie should be rated much lower than a 5.9 on IMDb. The vast majority of the humor in this movie is sooooo cringe worthy unfunny. Sure, there are a few moments that made me laugh, but if you throw enough crap at the wall some of it's bound to stick, but it's amazing how little does. The whole storyline associated with that art dude was sooooo insanely unfunny on every level. Steve Carrell's/Barry's big theme to his character is, he creates art with dead mice…. He uses the mice to depict famous/historical people (Benjamin franklin, Jesus, etc). Seriously! That's the funniest thing they could come up with? I mean 1/5th of the movie is dedicated to this mouse joke…. I guess it's a joke? What were they thinking? The whole girlfriend/relationship storyline was painfully cliché and beyond cringeworthy and of course is consistent with being over the top silly. And the whole ex-girlfriend or whatever she was…. Seriously? Oye Vey! The Swedish couple…. redic! Then the move finally gets to the dinner and makes the audience suspend disbelief. We're supposed to believe that all the business big wigs were really enamored with Barry's weirdness as though he was a huge riot, but none of it occurred while we were watching it. He really wasn't that weird in comparison to the others and his big display with the mice wasn't really that bizarre or funny? Who knows, I'm done? This is such a repugnant piece a crap of a movie and the director and writers should be ostracized and never allowed to be a part of any creative process ever again.
