When a film becomes a pop sensation like Todd Phillips’s The Hangover, it’s not uncommon for imitators hoping to latch onto its success to flood the marketplace. Frank Vain’s Mancation is one such wannabe that fails to deliver any laughs whatsoever thanks to a cast with little comedic timing and direction and editing with even less. Every joke hangs flaccid off a comedy whose very skeleton relies on obnoxiousness and second-hand punchlines that many films have done before and have executed better. It’s not clear what Vain saw in Matt Kawczynski, Jake Matthews, or Steven Medvidick, but it’s obvious he tossed in Joey Fatone and Danica McKellar for their recognizable faces that do little else to help the film.

Charlie Sheen's 'goddess' girlfriend Bree Olson has landed her first non-porn film role in a new movie opposite former N' Sync star Joey Fatone and The Wonder Years actress Danica McKellar.
Olson will play the wife of leading man Matt Kawczynski in new film Mancation. Fatone will play his best friend.
The film, which also features Goodfellas tough guy Mike Starr as the father of Olson's character, Cyndi, starts shooting next month.
The movie will be filmmaker Frank Vain's directorial debut. Vain isn't new to working with headline-grabbing stars - he recently produced Calendar Girl with disgraced comedian Gilbert Gottfried, who was heavily criticised for making light of the Japanese earthquake/tsunami disaster in a Twitter.com joke at the weekend.
