We were going to laugh at this movie but instead were swept along. Silly? Why sure. And yet also believable.
We shouted at the screen, we laughed, even guffawed. This humour is not for everyone (check the other reviews) but I would place it in the same category as "Snatch" (Jason Statham and Brad Pitt). Banderas' best movie? It may well be. I bet he simply loved this character.
Surprisingly there were also scary moments, edge of your seat stuff although the shooters were as bad as the Star Wars soldiers.
This is not a silly movie and certainly not a bad one! I admit 8 may be a bit high but it is waaay better than the score it had at the time I am typing this (4.6). See for yourself. Don't expect a lot and you will love what you get.

I started with, I realize now, a certain bias. Meaghan Rath was in my opinion too pretty for this show. But oh my god was I wrong! Her comedic timing is SO good she often has me guffawing.
My daughter keeps telling me "they weren't like that" but all you parents out there know better.
I absolutely like the "wrong" humour the parents have, saying unforgiveable stuff about their kids. Been there, done that.
The couple is very believable and they really seem to have been together for years, they do it right.
When it comes down to it, it is always you 2 against the world (or so it feels). Best comedy since Married with Children.

I don't understand these low ratings. Sure, if they were looking for a Marvel movie, superhero stuff, they were disappointed. This is not an action movie even, it is not a Matrix derivative or...
What it is is a beautiful world-idea, background for a romance but Levels wants to make you wonder.
The villain is perhaps too one-dimensional although I really loved his performance. And yes the characters could have been fleshed out more. But that would have distracted. The main character here is the plot. And that made me give it a 9/10.
It is a positive movie with great performances all around. It left me with a good feeling.
Give it a chance. I'm going to watch it with my daughter next.
