Michael's Movie Grade: C
Review: Surprisingly funny, and enjoyable film despite big faults.
This film does have big faults. The biggest fault is Kevin Hart's overacting. He is not a bad actor when he doesn't overact, but he can be really annoying when he does overact. The storyline is very predictable and there are many times when you can tell what is going to happen before it does. With these big faults, why did I give the film a passing grade? Well it made me laugh. While there are many jokes that miss the mark, the ones that are funny are quite funny. When this film made me laugh, it did it well. On top of that while the story was overly predictable, it was an enjoyable, even if it was completely unoriginal. We have seen the story done many times before, but it is still done decently here.
This is not one of the all time great comedies. There are too many faults and jokes that miss, but when this film is funny it is quite funny, add a decently told storyline and you a get an enjoyable time at the movies, even if it doesn't come close to being a classic.
