Even though this was a typical PG-13 comedy with every bit of the plot telegraphed and an ending you can see coming before the movie even starts, I still managed to get some enjoyment out of it. Simon Pegg has playing the regular guy down and even though his humor is somewhat muffled by the rating there are a still a few laugh out loud scenes. He and Hank Azaria make it bearable to sit through the onslaught of clichés. Anyone expecting this to break new ground will be sorely disappointed. All this is, is a serviceable comedy and a decent way to waste 90 minutes.
