Rawson Marshall Thurber directed this Action comedy. Watch Preview. Cast: Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Amy Ryan, Danielle Nicolet, Aaron Paul. Rated PG-13 for crude and suggestive humor, some nudity, action violence and brief strong language. Running time is one hour and fifty-four minutes.
A one-time bullied geek (Johnson) grows up to be a lethal CIA agent, coming home for his high school reunion. Claiming to be on a top-secret case, he enlists the help of the former “big man on campus” (Hart), now an accountant who misses his glory days.
Kevin Hart is not high on my list of favorite actors. I know that many find him hilarious but I find him mostly loud and obnoxious. He has toned down a bit in this film and pairing him with the steady, calm Johnson makes the whole film less madcap. Still, for something that's supposed to be a comedy, there are not many laughs, although Johnson in a fat suit, singing in the shower, did make me chuckle, as did Hart's pratfall. The rest of the thirty-minute too long film has a fair amount of action which unfortunately kept being halted by Hart's nonsensical patter. The funniest part of the film is the outtakes that start right after "The End" appears on screen. If you're a Hart fan I'm sure this will be a must see. Otherwise, there are a lot more interesting films that are almost here.
There are no additional scenes once the credits begin. Screen size is unimportant. Theatres/Times.
