Instead of scoring belly laughs, there's a run on randy guy banter between Duchovny and Jones.

It's not good, but it's nowhere near as bad as most recent comedies; it has real laughs, but it misses real opportunities.

Evolution is bad. How bad? Who cares? Do you ask how hot the fire is before running out of a burning building? No, you just run for safety.
