    "The Wandering Eye"

    Decent watch, probably won't watch again, but can recommend.

    It does feel like this is made for a very specific audience, but it is all about how get past your past and make your future (somewhat) better.

    The "main" story line seems to be a guy living a boring life is into Gillian Jacobs, which I totally get, but not when you have Maria Thayer at home. Even value, I would take snuggling up comfortably at home over a club any day.

    It's the first time I've seen Kevin Hart play a smart character, and it turns arrogant character really fast.

    It's also the first time I've seen Simon Helberg play a criminal, and I can't say it was very impressive, though he did do "crazy" well.

    There are some great movies that cross multi-threaded stories, but this feels like the Kevin Hart and Old man robbers are just kind of tacked on. There just isn't enough interaction between the the stories.

    It's worth a watch, but it's not "Snatch".

    Complete waste of time

    Once again, I picked out the 2 star movie for the family to watch. Save yourself and your family from this horrific film. It's labeled a comedy yet there was not a single funny line.

    Baaaaad script

    Actors did they best they could with such a terrible script ..

    Not the best

    Good performance from Kevin, infact they all nailed it... Just the story was slow, it wasn't that gripping. It felt like it was leading up to something that never came. It's not the worst movie I've seen but I would deffo not watch it again

    Poorly written

    The writing is what killed this film. It's very cheesy and unimaginative. The dialogue is very unnatural. I also didn't love the way many of the scenes were shot, it makes it look cheaper. That said, the acting really tried to elevate this film. A few great people in this- particularly David Denman, Kevin Hart, and Elizabeth Olsen. I think costumes did a really decent job of setting up the characters as well. Overall, I related wanted to like this movie and at times I was able to embrace the cheese-factor, but mostly it just made me sad that talented people and money went into making this script.
