Philips took three very talented actors (Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, and Galifianakis) and threw them into situations that are as much fun to watch as they are funny. There are a few holes and some parts don’t really make sense but then again does it really matter when the movie you are seeing is an R-rated comedy that involves a strange baby in sunglasses, a chicken, a tiger, and Mike Tyson? Didn’t think so.
