Title: Too Old for This
Review: I picked this up on disc because I had encountered various mentions online of people finding it hilarious, and I dote on comedy. This one is slickly produced though sickly written from an unswervingly adolescent point of view. Comedy works best when one or more of the characters is sympathetic: we laugh at the terrible difficulties this character gets into while hoping for him to triumph over them in the end.I was able to generate no such hope for these four guys. My sympathies were more engaged by the Las Vegas people, seen and unseen, whose job it was to clean up after these slobs. Personally, I thought the stripper that the dentist married a far more suitable mate than the fiancee with whom he had already built a wretchedly dysfunctional relationship. So, while the quartet does indeed get into terrible difficulties, my greatest hope was for them to wend their way toward a Darwin Award.
