OK I know you attempted to construct a paradoxical world not unlike that of Escher's, but the effect is lame. Very bad story-telling. (instead of spending 3 hours every day on set making Joseph look like a transvestite, why not spend a bit more time on the script?)
It is like an extended version of Modern Family: self-consciously wild at first but sweet and sincere in the end.(Claire and Phil, seriousIy?) I'd expected something more out of Tina Fey and Steve Carell. Yet I believe they're as good as they could be in such a mediocre script!
