Finally, their own lazy output comes back to hurt them.

I saw it today somewhat under duress, so I wasn't in the best frame of mind for comedy, and there were sound issues at the theater which also didn't help (though I think the film was better with the sound off), but I thought it was pretty bad.
I think the only time I laughed a little was the scene that riffed on The Chimpmunks. It was also moderately amusing to play "spy Ike Barinholtz" (from MAD-TV) as he played about half the characters in the film.
But, yes, the studios need to stop bankrolling films for these two writers. I thought Date Movie was kind of funny, but the rest have been atrocious.
