CGiii Comment

Basically, it's an inferior re-hash of The War of the Roses - with gay stereotypes and without any chemistry whatsoever.

The whole thing is really irksome - especially the ending...which is, in purest Hollywood tradition, a total cop-out.

Vaughn, himself, ranks in the useless comic actor list - keeping good company with Stiller et al.
