A Happening of Monumental Proportions

That's one way to explain what was a missed opportunity with the ensemble cast featured in this alleged comedy. A single father (played by the rapper/actor Common), is suddenly beset by a relationship revelation and a curious incident at his place of employment. While his daughter waits for his Career Day presentation at her school, that very place is the scene of a man's dead body at the school. It's being handled by administrators in a curious "we must keep this secret" fashion. The directing debut of Judy Greer (professional "best friend" in multiple rom-coms) doesn't hold much appeal beyond some scenery. Most characters here you care just enough about, but it's in a mostly unfunny script.

No worries- this isn't a spoiler; starts out with the dead guy.

In one word - Cute? That's all I've got. You can tell that this was an earnest first try in directing by someone who got her famous friends together to do a indie project. Script was weak. Too many big names with small, unneeded parts.

Began as what I thought would be a dramady with trying to hide a dead body found on school grounds right before school was to open. We got a little backstory in a couple kids and grownups at drop off. Mixed in a little suspense at the workplace. And Bob. What's going to happen when Bob meets Daniel?

There seemed to be no effort of anything, um, monumental. I may have been happier if I had found out who the dead guy was. "Red Herring", I believe, was his name. Dead guy and title is what made me want to watch. Don't watch. Get crib notes.

This is not horror,thriller,romance,drama,sci-fi,musical or comedy, its just a bunch of actors that are usually above average standard in the art of acting, clinging to a ozone layer thin storyline about stupid teachers, a dead man,a lottery ticket,a damaged coffee machine,dultrey and adultry and soforth. its just a mess of a screenwriters decline toward alzheimer because it shows all the signs of a demented person. this comedy didnt even make me smile,it didnt even engage a braincell which ive got tens/tons of,a motheaten product of nothing. i give 2 because of the children.

I think I laughed 3 times in the entire movie. Also, Keanu Reaves is the first actor listed in this app and he's in the movie for all of 5 minutes. I remember when comedies used to be funny.

As the title says it's one weird movie. It goes nowhere!
