Didn't see a thread anywhere for this so I figured I would make one.

I saw this tonight in NYC and had high expectations going into it after only watching about half of the trailer (I don't like having too much plot ruined for me). I was a bit underwhelmed, unfortunately. The actors played their parts well and it was interesting to see Steve Carell take on a dramatic role like this, if anything he's shown that he's perfectly capable of playing parts like this in the future. There was no trace of Michael Scott or any other zany character he's played, just a pretty solid performance. Mark Ruffalo is especially sincere in his role and the chemistry between him and Tatum is pretty great. Tatum's strongest scenes are when he's by himself and you get a glimpse at the core of his character. That said, the chemistry and story development between characters was a little off, I blame the overall poor pacing. What could have been a fantastic movie turned out to just be somewhat decently solid but not really worth more than a single viewing, in my opinion.
