REVIEW:  The movie was terrible in most every way.  Gerard Butler with his awkward looks came bounding into the movie full fledge and was annoying through out the entire film.  But the film was off to a bad start when the film began with the song "Shorty 911" and that wasn't even the worse song used for the film.  The film that was obviously supposed to hold some comedic element wasn't at all funny, instead it was annoying trying.  On top of all the continuous mishaps of the films elements the film began too soon with too much happening, giving not enough time for development which leaves viewers confused and just not all that interested in what was happening.  In general, the film came off as a bit amateur-ish.

NOTE:

• A do not watch film.
