***1/2 - A very amusing film overall, with a great performance from “Daily Show” alum Ed Helms and a surprisingly funny turn by Zach Galifiniakis, whose standup routines I am not at all fond of. Even in the parts in which the jokes didn’t necessarily work perfectly, the writers of the film managed to keep it interesting by throwing in a pretty neat little mystery-lite storyline. The only things in this that I didn’t really care for were the little gay Chinese fella, who I found extremely irritating, and a far too-frequent usage of shots of naked male asses. Also, whether it is tongue-in-cheek or not, the use of that stupid “Who Let the Dogs Out” song in a film is never acceptable.
