Not terribly original, but I've seen worse comedies, especially in this project.  Andrew Black 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.

I remember sort of considering seeing the first movie because of the cast, but this one just made me feel like everyone's time was wasted, including mine.  I have to say that with many of the characters, including a little girl, saying wildly inappropriate things, there's just no shock value.  If there was one happy or normal or sane character, there could at least be some contrast that might produce humor.  (And I say that as someone who enjoyed Bad Teacher, sadly not coming up.)  I doubt I'll watch the first movie now.  Jon Lucas and Scott Moore co-wrote and co-directed.
