Drunk Parents

Was Fred Wolf drunk when he wrote this screenplay? The story's concept was good, but the writing was horrible. The written comedy was so stale and stupid, it flopped any potential this film had. A 5th grader could've written a better script - and made it funnier. And I'm sorry... I am a fan of Salma Hayek, but she was utterly annoying in this film. The rest of the all-star comedic cast were great, but clearly their potential was underwhelming from the lousy script. The directing was ok, although certain scenes jumped all over the place, were convoluted, or cut to soon before needed information was given. It's a shame, as this film had potential. It certainly isn't deserving of any 1 or 2's, but is nothing above a 7 either. It's an honest 5/10 from me.

I L-O-V-E-D it so much. Yes, it is a stinker of a movie. Terrible. Just awful. But sometimes that's the mood you're in and that's the mood I was in when I watched it. I needed something goofy and terrible and this was it.

Love the redux of Hayak and Baldwin. I don't know.

Like I said....pay me no mind...

As a screenwriter myself I know how difficult it is to get anything produced let alone a movie. It is all the more mystifying then that something as awful as this ever saw the light of day. What is even more of a mystery is how two actors of Alec Baldwin and Salma Hayek's stature were persuaded to sign up for it in the first place. I can only guess at their motives but I suspect they were doing it as a favour to the director or one of the producers. If not, both should sack their agents immediately.

The leads do their best to navigate their way through what is a painfully unfunny script but, ultimately, this will probably go down as the low point of their careers. It's a real shame as Baldwin in particular has turned in some great performances over the years - his cameo in Glengarry Glen Ross being one of my personal favourites. He and Hayek will no doubt bounce back from this but the director and co-writer, Fred Wolf - a former stand-up, unbelievably - may struggle to put this stinker behind him.

Putting Politics aside, the movie is just horrible in every way, no sense at all, bad script, bad acting, bad jokes. High budget actors doesn't make a great movie, sorry.

First of all I am a fan of both Alec Baldwin and Selma Hayek.I was expecting something hilarious because I watched them both on 30 Rock and was hoping that this would be something just as funny. It wasn't. The movie starts off and goes off the hinges in a very haphazard and convoluted way. The humor is so physical. There are no jokes. I still don't know why or how Frank is broke. You get no backstory or explanation, just two old people frothing and writhing on the ground.

I am super disappointed.
