Reminded me a bit of Cable Guy in that it's a fun premise, well made, with lots of fun moments, but the tone is uneven and the story is very slight. It's not surprising that this was adapted from a short story, as it often feels more like a sketch stretched out to 90 minutes. Rogen gives two strong performances, and the film is generally good at whatever it's trying its hand at - spoofy comedy, light satire, gentle drama - even if it never manages to settle on one or meld them successfully together.
Rating: Okay.
