When this many great actors struggle to get through their lines all signs of what went wrong points to the director. The script doesn't start out especially strong, about the humor and over exaggeration of a SNL skit, but more of it could have been salvaged if the director had known how to direct the talents here. Instead, the cast obviously doesn't care about the film and are ignoring their comedic sensibilities (or told they are wrong) and do nothing to correct the constant problem of inauthenticity and tonal roller coaster here. This is basically a train wreck.
