01.30.23Internet This was half Guess Who's Coming to Dinner and half Meet the Parents. I wanted to see it because of the cast. I thought Jonah Hill and Eddie Murphy would be funny together, which they were. There were some strong scenes (most of which played in the trailers) and I'd say I enjoyed myself well enough, but it didn't rise beyond the trappings of its format. The end scenes were a little bizarre to boot. Really, if I'm completely honest with myself, I also found Jonah Hill's schtick to not work nearly as well when he's looking like whatever this look is. For me it's hard to think it has anything to do with the part and more to do with surfing or whatever he's up to these days. So while Julia Louis-Dreyfus and David Duchovny were good with their 1 thing to do and Nia Long was fun to see for her 1 thing to do (along with a cadre of other funny people), Eddie Murphy was the only one that really had stuff to do other than the two leads. Could've been better.
