This film pretty much lost me right at the start because Gavin treated it all as a bunch of stand up routines linked together with a thread. I felt like oh here we go again, he's going to go into stand up for 10 more minutes, then we'll walk over here and do stand up and then oh we'll go get drugs and do stand up, get in a fight with some stand up and so on.

He didn't give Liam enough to do. A lot of the time I felt like a captive audience like Bryan, just holding the cam and watching until he was done. Like taking your dog out for a walk and tediously waiting for it to defecate so you can move on with your life.

The part where he cheated was really stupid and just showed that he was a terrible human being. Nothing to do with being a man or otherwise, he was just a nasty human. Doing that to your wife, not letting her know you're dying (which hello she might need to know about), not even talking to her about anything (guy in her bathroom with no explanation), bringing possible STD's into your marriage and oh wait just throwing away your whole marriage.

It was really juvenile and unfunny. Gavin needs a lot of attention and should just go to therapy instead of making movies. Liam was cute but meh, they gave him nothing to do.
