Very disappointing...
The previews of this make you think it something that is very funny and hilarious and in my opinion it fell very short of doing make me laugh. The story seems to be told as if were a book and I do not think it worked well for me. The only interesting thing was this was based on a true story and knowing that was interesting. I also felt the movie was long and I think that was because it did not hold my interest.
