Yep, my headline sounds negative - I just found those 3 things sounding good - as movie creators thought that all scenes will be funny :-)
First complain: Rowan Atkinson (who I like) is miscast - looks not at all as some souther Italian - and I was in Napoli. Plus, he seems for me as lost in practically all scenes. Funny thing: here no his name in cast list.
Maybe asked for it :-)
Other British actor, John Cleese was OK. Whoopy Goldberg ? I would say that her character was way to dumb, and was not much to act. Other, less famous actors were better in my opinion, but they had better roles too. Amy Smart and her partner were pretty good, although that former boyfriend attacking was way too destructive, or better potential self destructive too.
Some events were pretty much predictable, not including final event. But as movie progressed, I expected some moral/message to happen. Of course there were good/funny scenes. For me best was that 'Gods punishment' one :-)
Calling this best comedy or even great is not proper by me. Not so original, there were too long, too unrealistic or even shallow scenes (they searched for that organ at side of just stopped truck, while it was thrown out at least 50 m earlier). Surely, tastes differ, and I'm close to average rating here.
