The Real Review

People are mostly down on this comedy about two marketing guys who spark a global scandal after a drunken World Cup pitch in Brazil. The jokes are a split decision, with a lot finding them flat, and the story is widely seen as thin and predictable. Mark Wahlberg, as Brad, and Paul Walter Hauser get a lot of the blame for the film's misfires, while a few note Benjamin Bratt's Santos as a minor bright spot. The whole chase to get home alive just doesn't land for most.
