Honestly was not expecting much from this movie as not a big fan of Cena, but I was totally surprised by his comedic timing and really enjoyed this. Mann and Barinholtz round out a very strong comedic trio. The scene at the house with what's his name from Office Space was comic perfection. Thought it was gonna be really stupid, and maybe it was, but in the best possible way. Would highly recommend.
Was caught by surprise by this one. Looking at the poster I went in thinking it was gonna a broad teen comedy, and although the movie does have some lighthearted comedy to it (mainly from the supporting characters) the overall direction of the movie is actually quite dramatic despite its apparent lighthearted subject matter. It took me a second to catch-on, but luckily the two leads (Flynn and Telles) are truly very strong and carry the dramatic moments with ease. The script is very clever in how it takes an absurd concept of a Boy who can kill people with his looks, and uses that to explore seriously dramatic undertones of death with dignity; it's a super thin-line to walk, but first time director Kellen Moore straddles the line between absurdity and drama very well in my opinion. Overall Moore creates a fun world filled with a wide variety of unusual characters, but don't let the poster fool you, this is more of a drama than a comedy.
