bad sit-com quality

This is the prototypical example of a film's trailer being FAR better than the film itself. In fact, if you've seen the trailer, don't bother watching the movie at all. It deserves no more of a person's time than a cliffs notes, abbreviated recap. The entire running time feels like a failed pilot episode to what would make a bad sit-com. Barely a chuckle in sight, nothing particularly funny or rememberable at all with even Mila Kunis' amazing beauty wasted and held in check. The most unremarkable film of the year that really can't even be labeled as a comedy.
a real head-scratcher

This is one of those movies where you sepend the whole running time trying to decide whether to baiol or stick with it...and if you stick it out, you spend at least an hour afterwards trying to decide if you even liked it. The characters are, for the most part, two-dimensional and unlikeable, and there's about five places where the plot zigs when yo think it's gonna zag. I can't dismiss it completely, but at the same time, I'm finding it difficult to recommend it.
