AltAss Ratings (On a scale of 1 to 5 asses)

Plot & Writing:               

The story was okay and had potential for a decent comedy but the writing wasn't very funny.

Acting:                                

Tim Allen wasn't blowing anybody away with the funny and was absent for a good portion of the movie because his character is dead.  I thought Elisha Cuthbert did a nice enough job as the female lead but Jenna Elfman steals the show by far in a small supporting role and provided most of the laughs.

Originality:                       

I'm not sure if this plot line has never been done before but this style of comedy and the gags definitely felt well recycled.

Overall:                               

Without looking up the run time, the movie felt like it was at least a half our too long.  Not a lot of laughs for a straight up comedy and a comedy that isn't funny is pretty boring.  Skip it unless you're having trouble sleeping.
