“Buddy Games” (*1/2 out of four) was a witless comedy about a group of moronic middle-aged friends (Josh Duhammel, Dax Shepard, Jensen Ackles, Kevin Dillon, and others) who reunite to play the title buddy games which are an assortment of mental and physical challenges that help them forget about their problems and focus on the importance of having fun even as they get older. Pretty lame and stupid attempt at “The Hangover” and “Grown Ups” comedy but lacks the heart and humor of both. Despite the solid comic cast, only Dillon gets any (mild) laughs. Inauspicious directing debut for Duhammel.
