John Krasinski is not funny either.

When I saw the ads for this movie the first time I said out loud, "man I feel really bad for that guy, what an awful first major role in a mainstream movie".

Him being in this movie makes no sense whatsoever. If his involvement in this was at the prodding of anyone he trusts or pays to help him in his career, they should definitely be fired.

Thats crazy. The guy could literally star in "Jarhead II" and his fans would still like him.

Why hating on Robin Williams? Didn't you enjoy watching Hook?

Personally, the only thing that would make me like John Krasinski more is if he did an interesting 'serious' movie. I don't really view actors as genuinely being actors until they take on a range of different roles. When someone always does the same thing on screen, that seems more like just re-using one boring stage persona, rather than proper acting. He should get advice from Cillian Murphy on choosing movies; doing a few blockbusters to build his career (like Batman), and then taking on more challenging roles for fun (like Breakfast on Pluto and the Wind That Shakes the Barley). I don't think doing a range of movies alienates your fanbase, I think it broadens it.

Although, in defence of geeky videos of The Office set to music, I got sent this a while back and thought it was cute. (yes, I know that's quite embarassing)

When Robin Williams is in a movie he is much more subdued and is actually a brilliant actor.

I think many people not familiar with his work judge him on his schizo behavior on talk shows like Conan or Leno. I'm a big fan of Robins, but yea..those moments make me cringe.

I'm a huge OFFICE fan and this movie looks absolutely terrible. even so - it's not so hard to see how this sort of thing happens. first - there's a paycheck and the opportunity to star in a film. I don't think Krasinsky has ever had his face on a movie poster and/or his name above the title. Second - the director has done a lot of episodes of THE OFFICE, so I'm sure he personally picked John and convinced him it wouldn't suck. Third - the whole Robin Williams thing is probably hard for a young comedian to resist (even though we can all see with clarity that guy pretty much sucks these days). And finally - it was probably one of a very few movies that timed out with his hiatus from the show. perhaps the only one he was offered. TV actors are lucky if their break matches up with a film's shooting schedule.

there is a chance this movie will perform and still help out his career. the concept is cute and Mr. Williams did manage to turn a similarly smelling pile of dogshit into a modest hit just last year (see RV)...

i worked with him on a film a few years ago, he's a great guy. i hope this movie doesnt end his career.

eh, i wondered the same thing at first, but it's not really that out there. middle-aged women love john and some of them will probably see this crappy movie. maybe john wanted a new car?

This list is 417 times funnier than the movie could ever hope to be.

That said, I will still see it in theaters, if only to see Mandy Moore be pretty and likable, and examine how Robin Williams can murder comedy so brutally over and over again. How does he do it? Isn't it tiring?

Maybe he lost a bet.

Odds, anyone?

She's cute. Like a puppy or a kitten or another baby animal of some kind. I try so hard to dislike her, but I can't. No matter how many atrocious movies she makes. And she is churning them out at a rapid pace.

I have a thing for bad romantic comedies. Like, really bad. I can't get enough. It's a sickness. I see pretty much every movie that comes out, actually, but bad DRAMA is a lot harder for me to stomach than bad comedy.

(in my defense, while I subject myself to bad romantic comedies quite I bit, I truly LOVE good romantic comedies. There just aren't that many. Or any. It may have been about 60 years since the last one)

Is this from the home office in Sioux City, Iowa?
