\n Are girls on a mission to out-gross guys?<\/p>\n

Ever since \u201cThe Hangover\u201d came out in 2009, a crop of women-aimed buddy comedies have sought to prove that you don\u2019t need a Y chromosome to be flippin\u2019 disgusting.<\/p>\n

Sometimes that brand of humor works, such as in the \u201cBridesmaids\u201d food-poisoning scene, or when Tiffany Haddish gets hot and heavy with a grapefruit in \u201cGirls Trip<\/a>.\u201d But those fantastic films were written and acted by some of our greatest comedic talents.<\/p>\n

Suffice to say, writer Ellen Rapoport is no Kristen Wiig. Nothing is very funny in her new movie \u201cDesperados,\u201d but plenty is yucky and\/or moronic.<\/p>\n

While on a boat in Mexico, a dolphin\u2019s excited phallus slaps the main character, Wesley (Nasim Pedrad), in the face. At the hotel, she drops her pink vibrating sex toy only to have a young boy excitedly pick it up. It\u2019s the blight of sophistication!<\/p>\n

Wesley is the sort of affable loser who brings up masturbation at a Catholic school guidance-counselor job interview and can\u2019t find a man. See? She can\u2019t even guide herself. Hardy-har-har.<\/p>\n

After she gets a hottie named Jared (Robbie Amell) in bed, he doesn\u2019t call her back. So, in a drunken furor with her friends Brooke (Anna Camp) and Kaylie (Sarah Burns), Wesley sends a cruel breakup email mocking Jared\u2019s dead dad and the size of his manhood.<\/p>\n

But, uh oh, it turns out he was simply in a Mexican hospital recovering after an accident \u2014 not ghosting her. Not wanting to lose her stud, Wesley and her two sidekicks head south of the border to find and delete the offending email.<\/p>\n

If that sounds familiar, it\u2019s because there was a similar plot-line in \u201cMy Best Friend\u2019s Wedding,\u201d but that only lasted a few quick minutes. That\u2019s an app<\/a>ropriate length because it was totally unbelievable, even in 1997, that a person could completely avoid their inbox for more than one day. Hitching a whole movie to a flimsy post doesn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n

The antics in Mexico are obvious \u2014 Wesley stumbles naked into the wrong hotel room and crashes a quincea\u00f1era<\/em> with a failed blind date (Lamorne Morris) she runs into. There is a needless subplot when Brooke and Kaylie visit a Gwyneth Paltrow-esque lifestyle guru named \u00c1ngel de la Paz (Heather Graham), who insists she\u2019s the real deal while they sit in a yurt.<\/p>\n

As Wesley, Pedrad gives a processed-cheese performance with so little fluctuation in mood, facial expression, physicality and voice, you wish Austin Powers would expose her as a fem-bot.<\/p>\n

Speaking of \u201cThe Spy Who Shagged Me,\u201d it\u2019s so nice to see Graham, who\u2019s barely changed in 21 years. She was a shrewd pick to play a matcha-and-meditation type. And Camp, who\u2019s such a delight as a Barden Bella in the \u201cPitch Perfect\u201d film series<\/a>, brings that same cutting personality here.<\/p>\n

But such a comedy cannot depend solely on its supporting cast, especially when they\u2019re tasked with lifting up subpar material. When \u201cDesperados\u201d attempts to find its emotional core at the end, with friendships and relationships strained by the not-so-excellent adventure, you won\u2019t shed a tear.<\/p>\n

We never wanted to see this vapid jerk find happiness. We merely wanted her to find a few good jokes.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
