It's good, highlights include the coworkers banter and dynamics, mostly early on. Their nights out, different scenarios trying to set up Carell. And really, once it turns into sort a 'love story with a twist' in the second half with Keener, it may even be better.

Literally one of my first thoughts was.. 'wow, Broderick is annoying'. Thought he was crappy in this, even if his character was meant to be like that, which I'm not sure he was. Hank Azaria was honestly the star.
Overall, it was just incrediblyyy formulaic. If anything I was…Translated from by
