Edit to my original review: I'm adding 1 more star because of the twist. The acting is still horrible, but the multiple twists made it better, almost in a "so bad it's good"way
I'm 30 minutes in and debating turning it off. The female radio host and the actor who played Gary are absolutely awful. I just kept fast forwarding through certain spots they were in. As someone who consumes morning radio daily, I understand the "corniness" and "shock jock" factor, but I don't understand how they hired all bad actors. Mel Gibson was cringe and none of the "jokes" landed. The back and forth dialogue between Mel and his wife on the phone seemed so fake and forced. The concept was pretty cool, but I couldn't get into the movie at all. Only gave it 4* instead of 3* because I like Mel, no matter what anyone says.
