The Real Review

People are divided on this meta comedy about Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson playing versions of themselves, with more finding it a mess than a hit. The central joke wears thin fast, and the "brothers" family secret plot is widely disliked as a contrived, unfunny engine for the story. While the leads' real-life chemistry gives the acting a decent score, their actual performances as "characters" are seen as more successful than the shaky premise they're stuck in. It’s a concept that sounds better in a pitch meeting than in practice.
