PLOT: A man (Vaughn) discovers that his best friend's (James) wife (Ryder) is having an affair.
CAST: Vince Vaughn, Kevin James, Jennifer Connelly, Winona Ryder, Channing Tatum, and Queen Latifah
VERDICT: I'm not a fan of the route Vaughn's career is going down. Couple comedies are hit-or-miss depending on the cast choices, which Vaughn proved with the critical failure of Couples Retreat. Connelly is never funny. Ever. Ryder's criminal history is too distracting to laugh with her. And then there's Channing Tatum, who's playing her lover, and has the same comedic timing as Mark Wahlberg in The Other Guys, which is to say...none. The funniest part of the trailer is the rash he gets. But I'm not paying $13 for slapstick.
RELEASE DATE: January 14
