This might be sort of funny if it didn't have so many deliberately unlikable characters.  I mean deliberately both by the screenwriter-director-starr Braff and by the character's themselves

This unfunny comedy is bumped up from a D or D- because I was somewhat entertained seeing who else's talents would be wasted, although I didn't even make it up to Jason Bateman.  (I tagged the ones I saw.)  Jesse Peretz directed.

Unfunny expanding of the fairytale, which doesn't make any sense, because in fact a very large object falls on the town and causes damage and havoc, yet somehow the title character is a loser for warning everyone?  Still, it was kind of fun recognizing the voice cast (and the Barenaked Ladies on the soundtrack), so yeah, D+.

Mark Dindal directed and co-wrote, as he did for Cats Don't Dance, and there's the same lame level of pop-cultural references.
