Stuber

This isn't a bad movie in by any standards but for me it was one of those movies that suffered heavily from the use of over-advertising. There were at least 4 different trailers for this movie including the "red band" trailer so by the time I got around to actually watching the movie I had already heard a lot of the jokes that the film had to offer.

The action scenes were entertaining enough and Iko Uwais did an amazing job with his fight scenes as always. For what it is this movie is enjoyable I just wish they would stop putting all the jokes in the trailers.

This wasn't a great movie, but it wasn't a terrible one either. It had a good amount of laughs and I liked it more than I thought I would. It's been done before better, but it's a decent popcorn action comedy to kill a evening with. Might been more satisfied renting and watching at home, but I enjoyed it just the same.

Nanijani was absolutely amazing!, this guy with his nerd-like personality, and great lines, will make you laugh... I enjoyed it, unexpected it will be such a cool film! Bautista also did a good job, and both lads together (although it's nothing new, relation between 2 extremely different characters) made a great couple. Watch it, you will enjoy it, if you like weird humour and good dialogues

Police detective Vic Manning (Dave Bautista) is obsessed with criminal Oka Tedjo who killed his partner. His boss Angie McHenry (Mira Sorvino) tells him to spend time with his daughter Nicole (Natalie Morales). Stu (Kumail Nanjiani) is a sad sack, obsessed with friend Becca (Betty Gilpin), and stuck in a dead-end job. Vic is having trouble with his vision and hires Uber driver Stu on a dangerous pursuit of the villain Tedjo.

The pairing starts off a little wonky. The premise is also a little wonky. It doesn't make sense that Stu wouldn't simply call the cops or not drive. Over time, the pairing does grow on me. They have some chemistry and Kumail gets more comedic rather than simply being a pathetic whiner. It's a basic odd couple duo on a road-trip police investigation. It's trying to be 48 Hrs but it's not at that level.

A perfect light evening filler where I laughed a lot. Bautista and Nanjinani worked great together. A movie I would probably watch again, which I can not say a lot these days.
