cents:  This movie should become a classic. There are three different scene-stealers:  Ben Affleck is hysterical as the bartender running on way less than all cylinders.  J.K. Simmons is great as the number two guy at the plant.  He could write a book on how not to manage employees.  But the biggest delight of all was David Koechner as possible the most annoying neighbor of all time.

Probably the funniest movie I have seen this year.  The funny lines – and activities – come so fast that I am looking forward to seeing the movie again so I can see what I missed the first time.
