Usually, I'd take some time and think about my words carefully before leaving a review, but since the people responsible for producing this movie didn't care about making a good movie, I'm not going to bother trying too hard with my review. Normally, I love Kevin Hart and John Cena and they really gave it their all in this movie. I mean, I think they really tried to make a good movie. But somebody, probably the director, Eric Appel, just didn't do a good job. Everything just seems off somehow. Is this a parody? Is this supposed be in the same genre as Naked Gun? Because if it is, it's terrible. Is this a comedy? Because if it's supposed to be, it isn't funny. Is this an action movie? Because if it is, the action sucked.
I just don't get it. Both the writers, Tripper Clancy and Derek Kolstad, have written for movies and shows that I really enjoyed. But the writing for this is just plain dumb. I don't know if they just didn't care or were forced to write something they didn't want to write, but it's just so childish and lazy.
The acting from everyone involved is clumsy and that's why I suspect the problem is with the direction. I just don't understand why this movie got made. It looks like it's got a budget. It's shot decently. Nothing to write home about, but it suffices, I guess. The audio is pretty terrible, though. There are many parts throughout the movie where the sound goes up and down and it's really off-putting.
I guess, if you have nothing else to watch and you've consumed many, I mean MANY, mind altering beverages and you desperately need some background sounds to listen to as you're passing out, this might hit the spot for you. Otherwise, I'd skip this. It's definitely not worth paying for.
