Quite a bit of trailer fraud going on with this one. The trailer suggests that we are going to get something along the lines of 'The Hangover - German style' but this whole section of the movie only runs for about a 10-minute section and is quite far into the film.
The story misses a few key ingredients and at the same time tries to cram in too many other things that aren't really necessary. Pretty much the entirety of the family background section and everything that comes with it could go. The only funny thing that would go with it is the facetime freezing gag which could have been fit in elsewhere.
The three protagonists are meant to have been working together for a year but fundamental character details about the basic mental abilities and characteristics of one of them are only just being revealed.
Nick Frost is pretty funny for the short time he is on the screen.
James Marsden does what he is meant to in giving you someone to dislike, but there isn't really any reason why he acts like such a dick, other than possibly because he is a bit of a dick.
Sienna Miller is as hot as ever, (ok maybe not as hot as the bit in her undies in Layer Cake) but despite all the sex jokes flying around she makes one about herself, but no-one else even makes a vaguely sexual comment in her direction.
It isn't a bad film by any means, just it is a bit underwhelming for what it could have been. To be honest and a bit cheesy, it is all just a bit Unfinished.
Rating 5/10.
