Imagine you're going to an improv night, if you're lucky the acting will be good and it'll be like watching a few skits of "Who's Line Is It Anyway". Now, imagine the entire evening is dedicated to a single skit. It'll be a miracle if it worked. The charm of the improv wears thin when the short form of a skit is exceeded. This so-called miracle didn't happen for this movie too.
Yes, the acting is good. I mean, Julia Louis-Dreyfus is the living cartoon of a Yappie, and she made a career out of it, but once you get a non story with a single idea that would suit a skit, stretched into feature length, I can't see how it'll work, no matter what. It's not a surprise that the only bits that do work are those written to begin with, as short skits. Namely, the session with the psychologist. And, I do agree with one of the previous reviewers - it's not all that funny.
