What an abomination of a movie. You have two of the better comedic actors of our time and you decide to put them in a movie where the central theme is mistaken identity? Where are you going to go from there? This road has been travelled plenty, and I can’t say that I remember one of them being any good. And this movie is certainly no exception. I’ll be honest, I don’t even think that I got halfway through it, and if I did it was only because of the presence of Carell. Thankfully he started picking better movies later in his career.
