Those Farrelly brothers--they're quite the enigma, aren't they? They've
made a couple of the funniest movies of the last decade or so (
There's Something About Mary and the wildly under appreciated
Kingpin),
but apparently, "funny" is not really their thing. At least judging by
some recent outings. Here's a case in point. It was "sold" as a comedy,
and there are certainly some funny moments, good gags, humor-laden
premise, etc. But then again, they seem to be more interested in making a
point about people and what makes them who they are. The boys deserve
credit for trying, but they didn't completely pull it off. Maybe they'll
nail it with the next try.
