Wealthy people 'adopt' a struggling(financially and emotionally) couple and show them how the wealthy live(terribly) . The non rich couple are entralled by the lavish living until they realize how miserable the wealthy really are and happily escape back to their normal lives, which at the beginning of the movie are mired in mediocracy, at best. The lesson, I guess, is that living a lavish life is no better than living a life of mediocracy This theme is old, predictable, and limp as an over cooked noodle. There is no joy in this tedious movie, that is supposed to be funnny, I guess.
Humor...forget it. There isn't any.
None of the characters are interesting enough to pick this movie off the floor and give it any resonance. It just plods along, with most of the characters either openly or secretly, reviling the other characters, though even that emotion is so muted as to be meaningless....which should be the title.
I have sympathy for the actors who are given nothing to work with.
