It's awful.

relentlessly silly

We have to survive on a diet of low calorie slapstick and quick-fix buffoonery.

Top CriticLow-impact fun for the indiscriminate viewer.

The director, John Fortenberry, whose background is in television, has probably done the best that can be done with characters who were never meant to speak.

Audiences are likely to be as repelled by this lame & lamer combo as their would-be dance partners, because underneath their shallow and clueless veneers is just more shallowness and cluelessness.

The Butabis (Will Ferrell as gangly Steve and Chris Kattan as weasely Doug) are especially dismal to watch for 80-something minutes, more like Pat than Wayne and Garth.

...those who manage to sit through all 81 minutes of it deserve a medal of bravery.

The rest of the film is on autopilot, with comic material that's spread thinner than the lone brain cell the Butabis share.

An amiable, if flyweight, diversion.

Top CriticThe first question, of course, is why?

Even as a skit, Chris Kattan and Will Ferrell playing brothers Doug and Steve Butabi just doesn't work.
