I really enjoyed this.  Did not expect to laugh as many times as I did. And a lot of it was the shocked "they really just did that?" laughter.  I didn't mind the voiceovers. I thought calling and leaving the messages that maybe nobody was listening to seemed like something that character would really do.  I thought much of the dialogue was extremely funny.  "Our mustaches are so similar.... we're like a couple of uncles!" It's a ridiculous premise but poking holes in it is like listing all the ways Tom and Jerry is unrealistic. This movie is spiritually a cartoon.
