The cast is also a weird collection of A-list personalities who are probably too good for this movie. We’ll do a quick run-down of the most noteworthy in the sub-skits: Hugh Jackman and Kate Winslet on a disaster of a blind date, Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts as a pair of overprotective parents, Chris Pratt and Anna Faris as a couple on the cusp  of a big change in their relationship, Kieran Culkin and Emma Stone as a pair of dirty-laundry-airing lovers, Richard Gere and Kate Bosworth as techno-geeks behind a hot new piece of technology, a laundry list of people as super heroes (Justin Long, Jason Sudekis, Uma Thurman, Bobby Cannavale, Kristen Bell, and John Hodgman) at a speed dating event, and about a million other folks in a variety of weird settings. Still, despite the great cast, the writing is not up to par. The best skit of the bunch comes near the end of the movie in the form of Terrence Howard as an inspiring basketball coach in the segregated 50s, but the rest of them are a mish-mash of good ideas poorly executed, bad ideas well executed, and bad ideas poorly executed. I imagine if you like scatalogical humor then maybe you’ll get some chuckles out of some of the scenes, but the majority of them seemed to fall flat, at least with the audience in my screening.
