the film seems to believe that including tons of crass humor and putting characters in grossly sexual or awkward predicaments is the way to earn laughs. Instead, all the film succeeds at is alienating viewers; It's not funny; instead, it's frustrating
starring Judy Greer and Melanie Lynskey, "Lady of the Manor" is a delightful (if predictable) comedy that highlights its talented cast; while it may not be groundbreaking or innovative, it at least offers amusement
sometimes it's funny; other times, it's outright lame and needlessly crude; it all the more ashamed that Justin and Christian Long didn't refine the weaker sections, tell a more focused story, and eliminate the ill-advised sexually cruel jokes
despite the enjoyable chemistry between its leads and a promisingly offbeat premise, the buddy comedy does a better job of betraying its filmmakers' lack of imagination than it does conjuring any real laughs
as a buddy-comedy, there are some tender moments and truly funny scenes that make Lynskey and Greer a joy to watch. Unfortunately, all of that sincere joy is weighed down by several missteps and narrative distractions that lead to nowhere
