They say it’s based on a true story. And it’s a pretty “high-concept” comedy. Efforts are made to ramp up excitement by turning “tags” into action scenes. And there’s a schmaltzy, sentimental, male-bonding component, too, which includes a nice turn from Ed Helms. But it’s all for naught. There’s a messiness. A lack of rules. A lack of focus. Just because stories are “true” doesn’t mean they’re structured and shaped the way movies are. They get an “A” for effort here, but a C- for execution.
