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

Plot:                                            

Provided endless comedic possibilities, a solid concept.

Writing:                         

When it worked it was hillarious and when it didn't it wasn't awful enough to lose the audience completely.

Acting:                            

Jane Lynch can just walk into a camera shot and get a laugh without saying a word.  Casting Matt Servitto as her husband was a good decision as he does a nice job matching her energy even if he wasn't always as funny.  I was very impressed with Bryan Callen as the groom to be and Alexie Gilmore doesn't do a bad job either.  Acting is definitely a strength for this picture.

Originality:                 

The premise for the comedy was a somewhat different idea, but the comedy itself was old hat.

Overall:                           

This is worth watching because there are several moments that are of the "laugh again later" variety even if there are some mild groaners in between.  A very solid rental for cheap thrills.
