This film may be worth your time and money if only for Jenna Fischer, who earned has plenty of fans for her role on the NBC comedy "The Office". Her role as Darlene Madison is far from her Pam character on the sitcom, and it's frankly refreshing to see her doing something different. For the rest of the cast, however, the roles they play are old hat. It seems almost as if the movie were based on a poorly rehearsed SNL skit, and Dewey Cox feels like a character written for Will Ferrell. That's not to say that John C. Reilly does not play the character with his own flair, but it's a flair highly influenced by Ferrell's brand of slapstick comedy.
Maybe it is worth renting or ordering on pay-per-view while on vacation, but probably not worth seeing in theaters.
