I just saw this on Amazon Prime for a little escapism. It was mindless but absolutely no chemistry with Will Farrell and Reese Witherspoon and I’ve never been a huge Will Ferrell fan. But, it’s fun and light and not too stupid or inane to be eye rolling. 7.7/10 if that’s what you are looking for.

I'd say 6/10 but I'm sick in bed and it was ok in that context.

Are they supposed to be romantically involved?

He’s 57 and she’s 48.

And he’s an old 57 and she’s a young 48.

Not to mention very significant difference in attractiveness.

i enjoyed it. Fun, light, mindless rom-com that surprisingly wasn’t stupid. Yes, there was no chemistry between the leads but it was still good for what it was.

Yep. Enjoyed it. Certain scenes have me surprised either of them would do this movie, but it was a mindless enjoyment for an hour and a half.

I enjoyed it as well. Did anyone else think that the woman who played Reese's sister looked like a mix of Kate Hudson and Brittany Snow?

Yes, to the Kate Hudson

This was a miss for me. As a pp said, there was zero chemistry between Reese W and Will F - zero romantic chemistry but more importantly zero comedic chemistry.

Also, has Will F jumped the shark as an actor? He was just bad in this (vs Reese W was her usual appealing self).

He jumped the alligator (that is when I turned it off)

Is it funny? I can deal with no romantic chemistry if it's actually funny.

I watched that Clooney/Roberts movie Ticket to Paradise and they had no chemistry but also it wasn't even a little bit amusing. Their characters are unlikable and there is no one to root for. I should have turned it off but I'm a completionism and I wanted to finish it so I could hate the whole movie.

But I could see Farrel and Witherspoon potentially being funnier so maybe that would make it okay?

Yeah I'm not paying to not have commercials and I'm not watching commercials in some crappy Prime movie.

I thought it was a fun movie. They should have just not made it a rom com at the end. As others said, they didn't have any romantic chemistry, but the comedy generally worked, and they're both funny/likable.
