It's never a particularly good sign when a two-minute trailer comes book-ended with poop jokes within twenty seconds of either of its sides -- almost as if it wants to make its preoccupation with poop jokes impossible to forget, both throughout its run time and afterward. And that's pretty sad, because this trailer has parts that are genuinely witty.
I mean, don't get me wrong: I think farts and dicks are as hilarious as the next guy, but the thing is that, while farting sounds can be pretty awesome in the right context, poop is just never so much visually funny as visually disgusting, and the last time I wanted to see feces squirting into Jason Bateman's eye was never. Oh, and p.s., Jason-Bateman-possessed-by-Ryan-Reynolds: The image of Leslie Mann shitting is as gross to everyone else as it is to you. No, seriously.
Don't settle for a review of just the trailer -- read a real review!
