The film has a strong start, but meanders and loses steam as it goes. The biggest laughs are all in the trailer, and I realize that's how most comedies are, but unfortunately there's just not any other funny moments that aren't in the trailer at all. I love Seth Rogen and Zac Efron, and they both do a fine job in this film, but the movie is just not up to task when it comes to being as funny as it thinks it is. It's relying too heavily on set-up visuals and situational humor, but the real talent of the actors is in dialogue delivery, but there's not enough clever words to go around.
