It is just a silly relaxing movie to pass time with
I think it got released after Melissa McCarthy got famous...she is just a guest star and shouldn't be the main star on the poster
I enjoyed this movie a lot and love all the actors!
It's only funny if you enjoy dry dumb humor. It is a bit stretched out/ slow but I didn't mind because it's a mockumentary and they usually have that weird pace.
I've seen a lot of bad reviews because they go in expecting something more.
So to lay it out for people who are questioning if they want to watch it: You have to keep an open mind!
If you don't like dumb humor don't watch. If you don't like a movie that feels like a bunch of weird skits forced together don't watch. If you enjoy watching wacky mockumentaries with awesome comedians then give it a try!

I really liked it, Melissa McCarthy was actually the weakest link. It was fun and silly. I thought a couple of the jokes were a bit racist, but the characters are all funny--the cast is incredible.
A lot of users haven given this movie a very poor rating, which I think is completely unfair. Credit is not given to the actors for their performances, which are quite outstanding. I am a big Reno 911 fan, and this movie has a very Reno 911 feel to it, which is why I think I am more receptive to the type of humor presented in this movie. There are also very touching moments and when the person who won won, I did tear up. I just suggest to watch with an open mind.
Completely disagree with the dismemberment of this title.....Being watched all so wrong.....The intended projection is perfectly performed.
Let your allegiance of logic disperse.
Excellent loved it....Would give it a 7.6 but trolls trash it so a 10 to realize reality and balance the poor ratings.
