‘Who Said We’re Wack?’ The Lonely Island’s Incredibad

I Love You Man
Paul Rudd and Jason Segel star in this solid comedy that is fairly original but lacks something that puts it into that upper pantheon of comedies over the last few years.

Henry (Luke Wilson) is a down and out of it and after purchasing a suburban house in California, after he was unable to get the […]
