I can't help but get a "trying too hard" vibe from this movie. It just feels too forced.
That's how these types of movies almost always are. They rarely use any kind of subtly or nuance in the plot or humor. It's just the "wackiness" that you see from the trailer, but goes on for far too long, making the same joke over and over, and quickly wearing out its welcome. And they don't need to try to be clever, because the people that go to see it, see the trailer, and think "that looks great! I can't wait to see what happens", and it plays out exactly how you'd think it happens with every scene being the same obvious joke, because the creators are counting on the outrageous premise being enough to elevate it for their intended audience, so they get lazy on the writing.
