Not the worst comedy in this project by any means, but I certainly didn't laugh, or want to spend more time with these characters.  David Gordon Green directed, four years before Our Brand Is Crisis, which I also gave a D+

With that title and Jonah Hill writing and directing, you might think this would be a nostalgic comedy but it's actually quite depressing on multiple levels.

When this started, I thought it had potential, but I'm tired of backstories where the "villains" are the victims.  Tom McGrath directed.

I saw and liked this at the time, but I do have to say that rewatching it a dozen years later, no one is living up to their potential here (except maybe Russell Brand), star/writer Segel in particular.  Still, it was fun spotting everyone, the Hawaiian scenery is of course lovely, and there are some scattered good lines.  Nicholas Stoller directed.
