Title: Largely Unentertaining.
Product review: Donald Becker and Walter Fagen of Steely Dan are angry about this movie because they claim it is a blatant storyline ripoff of their song "Cousin Dupree." I love that song, but have to question if they have ever seen the film. They wouldn't have their hackles up if they did.In very few, short words, my review title says it all. 1 hour and 50 minutes of "hilarity" ensued, during which time I laughed all of three times. Crude physical humor abounds with lines uttered by "zany" Owen Wilson that are more stupid than funny. Matt Dillon looks like he wants to be somewhere else constantly, and the overrated Kate Hudson is just there looking like the celebrity royalty heir she bases her career upon. Michael Douglas as the vindictive father-in-law is the only palatable aspect of this mess. Boy, am I glad I rented this dud first!
