The premise could have made for a very funny film but the jokes in this are so over the top that it just commits harikari
It's not 'Something About Mary' o.t.t either, it's o.t.t to the point where it falls flat. For example Owen Wilson moves in with a moose's head? Owen Wilson is sleeping butt naked on the couch etc. Bwahahaha
If you want to see a similar theme and a much funnier movie watch 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' which has some hilarious moments but does it with some finesse for example when the cam pans out to show Martin drying his face on Candy's huge pants that have obviously been left laying around! (a much funnier working of the butt naked joke above)
Or perhaps a real classic like 'Animal House' which has crazed characters but unleashes them in short and very very funny bursts
This movie however sucks big time and can only appeal if you need the equivalent of comedy electroshock treatment to get you laughing
