CGiii Comment

Nick Kroll has got to be the most uncharismatic actor out there...stick to your day job.

His dour face, his dour temperament wield a performance that can only be described as distinctly unpleasant.

It's one of those comedies - without laughs. Not-so-wry observations and vacuous philosophising...delivered with punishing apathy.

The [slight] gay story line...as vacuous and unnecessary as is the philosophising.

Kroll is not a man who can carry a film...no matter what his ego thinks.

A worn-out dud.
