Rules of Engagement

Can't get enough of ogre-like Brad Garrett's 'Til Death? Well, if your lunkhead quota is not filled, look no further than Patrick "David Puddy" Warburton as he jumps onboard for another dopey-go-lucky role that has peppered his résumé. The story consists of men in three stages of relationships. Warburton is the married seasoned vet, Oliver Hudson the excited newly engaged rookie, and David Spade is the sideline guy pretending to analyze stats but is really gawking at cheerleader camel toe. Two of the three dudes come off over-the-top, while stubby Spade (here comes the short joke!) falls just under it. Rules may be hoping to make one of the three relatable to twenty- and thirtysomethings, but it might get just too close to reality. And that is never funny.
