PLOT:
A former fat kid (now a secret agent) works with the former cool kid (now
accountant) on an important case. Hilarity and action ensues.
FULL DISCLOSURE: I went in with pretty low expectations
STORY STUFF: There are funny scenes throughout but the storyline was
terrible. It was predictable and boring. And even the funny scenes could have
been funnier.
ACTING STUFF: Johnson & Hart have some fun chemistry together, but I
was actually hoping that Hart would have had more funny things to say. There
was more potential that could have been used. I enjoyed a few of the cameos in
the film. Also liked seeing Ryan Hansen (Veronica
Mars) getting some work.
ARTISTIC STUFF: Not much to report here. Some good song choices. Didn’t
like the fanny pack.
VERDICT:
Two and a half stars out of five
SEE IT IF:
You really like Kevin Hart
