The Good, the Bad and the Other Half:

• This is a fun, light-hearted film, with not much depth but an interesting premise and relatively engaging hook and tension.

• The film takes on many comedic tropes and stereotypical characters mixed with awkward comedy, completed with slightly over the top performances.

• Nevertheless, the movie gets bogged down with meaningless subplots and it introduces characters that have little to nothing to do with the plot.

• Even though the absurdist humour incorporated is funny and well worth the laughs, the slightly extended run time can lead to it being slightly dry at times.

Trivia:

• Katherine Heigl was originally cast but dropped out due to pregnancy. She was replaced by Katie Holmes.
