The problem is that after the setup, everything that comes next is completely irrelevant, starting with an astonishing bad-taste scene in a dry cleaner, through the Fame-like musical number in a Chinese restaurant (a song about the penis) to a gruesome experience in a petrol garage toilet. It just isn't funny, clever or pertinent to the story in any way. It's boring and more than a little desperate. And actors this good should not be in badly written films like this. The performances are relatively decent, although they're as uneven as the film itself due to erratic direction that mixes two parts Farrelly Brothers with one part Nora Ephron. Wrapped around these pointless scenes there's a nice 20-minute romantic comedy. But the hour in between is excruciating.
