Juego de roles

This is basically a gender swap of Mark Wahlburg's "Family Plan", but without the same level of humor or action. The lead actors are fine, the action sequences are well done but waaaay too short. The story is predictable, the humorous bits garner a chuckle at best. It's great to see Kaley branch out, but this doesn't come close to her performance in "Flight Attendant" on Apple TV. I think she deserves a bigger audience, and I'll continue waiting for her to find that true breakout role so she'll no longer just be Penny from The Big Bang Theory. As others have said, it makes for some fine background noise, but ultimately is pretty forgettable.

Role Play is a pretty bad comedy action film about a wife who is an assassin and hiding the secret from her husband and family. Until her past catches up to her and she has to step in and fight for her familys safety.

The plot is forgettable with its tedious script. The plot is similiar to The Family Plan except at least the humor and fun in that film is worth watching. This film lacks the humor and when it tries for laughs it is just pure awkward. The action sequences are boring. The cast ensemble is forgettable. It is nice to see Katey going for the action role. But the script and direction gives them nothing to work with.

It is a boring action film that has a eh story. Boring action and tedious performances.

Emma and David have been married for seven years and, after returning from yet another 'boring business trip' she forgets their anniversary. Thinking it is time to spice things up a little they decide to have a little role play. They separately head to an upmarket New York hotel where they plan to enter under assumed names and pretend they are strangers meeting for the first time. Unfortunately David is delayed and Emma finds herself being chatted up by an older man. Nothing is quite what it seems; he has recognised her and her secret life, that of an international assassin, is about to be exposed! She must go on the run as David tries to come to terms with what he is told. They will be reunited but the danger, for them and their two children, is far from over as Emma's employers are determined she won't walk away from her work.

I thought this was fairly fun even if it isn't as action packed or violent as one might expect for the genre. The plot isn't the most original but it serves well enough with some mildly tense moments as well as a degree of humour. Kaley Cuoco does a solid job as Emma, I think she has what it takes to make the action believable. David Oyelowo is fun as David, especially as he gradually learns just what his wife can do. Given that it isn't particularly violent, there isn't an excessive amount of strong language and here is no sex or nudity it can be enjoyed as a family film with older children; I'd say anybody old enough to watch the likes of 'James Bond' is old enough for this. Overall I wouldn't say this is a must watch but I did enjoy it so would recommend giving it a go.

Can't understand the negativity around this film.

It's not supposed to be taken seriously, it's just a fun movie that doesn't expect you to be gripping your seat arms or biting your nails wondering what's going to happen next.

Kaley Cuoco is as good as she always is, especially as she found out she was pregnant whilst shooting it, and has good support from the rest of the cast throughout the movie, especially from David Oleyowo who I've never seen before.

Connie Nielson is always a good watch and she puts her all into the role.

So just sit back with a glass of wine and some popcorn and forget everything else for a while and enjoy the entertainment.

An uneven script, uncertain directing, and bad casting let this picture down badly. It is a shame, really. Kaley Cuoco, however I don't like her, does a great job as so does David Oyelowo to convince us about a story barely believable. But casting Connie Nielsen as the villain is a very bad joke. It's like casting Sir David Attenborough as Lex Luthor. Her pure physical presence contradicts that. I guess it's the director fault to accept her as the villain in the first place. Then, he rightly proves himself unable to bring out the 'beast' of her, which is understandable. She is nothing like that. The camerawork is OK, so is the score, but otherwise it's just another film you will forget almost instantly after watching. As I said earlier, it's a shame. Waste of talent.
