Todd Phillips is a mediocre comedy. The pairing of Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis is the most unexpected fun of the film, and the rest is lackluster. Downey's image of a well-mannered good man balances Zach's comic-style exaggerated performance. They are really a good pair. This story does have some laughable passages. Unfortunately, the way the main line of the story puts these laughter points together is not successful. The film is nothing compared to "The Hangover".

Peter Highman: I just had the strangest dream. It's Friday. We're at the hospital. But it's not a hospital, it's a, a, a forest of sorts. And I know that because right next to you there's a bear. A grizzly, cooling his feet in a stream. And all of a sudden, you begin to deliver, and I can't get to you. But the bear can. And the next thing I know, he is holding our beautiful baby boy. And here's where it gets odd. Uh, he chews the cord. But, strangely, I'm okay with it. That's gotta be a good sign.
