Needed an established star to carry this

Established stars create interest and if charismatic, really carry a movie through its lulls and plot holes.

The young Obama lookalike didn’t really do much for me.
His costar, a Miley Cyrus lookalike, also didn’t do much.

Ryan Reynolds as a VOICE ACTOR doesn’t carry this.

I somewhat agree... it didn't need established actors... but did need more charisma from it's leads.

At least these guys were just bland/forgettable and didn't come across as douchey.
