I had a pass to see this at a screening like two months ago, but I couldn't drag myself out of the house to see it that night. I just have a gut feeling it's not going to be as funny, certainly not as dirty with a PG-13 rating, as a Judd Apatow production and that instead they're going for more of the School of Rock kinda thing...which may work out fine - but on the other hand no Mike White or Richard Linklater to be found. I thought the previous script from these screenwriters, Seeing Other People, was very standard and uninspired. And director Peter Cattaneo's name doesn't exactly fill me with great expectations, either. The Full Monty was cute and all, but that was also over ten years ago already. I love Rainn Wilson on "The Office", of course, but not enough that I'm gonna see a movie just because he's starring in it.
So...yeah.
Generally if I have a pass to see a movie for free and I can't force myself to see it then, there's little chance I'll spend money to see it. Certainly not in the theater, probably not even on DVD a few months down the line. Unless the majority of reviews from critics I respect are just glowing, I'll be seeing this one when it hits cable TV.
