7/10
Fast moving & hilarious!
18 September 2023
What a super comedy to break up the gravity of so many dramas & ultra violent movies...Sure appreciate the welcome RELIEF here in 2023! Adam Devine is funny...to a point...More slapstick humor which isn't my personal favorite. Enjoyed his partner, Nina Dubrev as she loves him for who he is. They set the stage for hilarity in their courtship/marriage though Adam was the bizarrely "funny" guy. The addition of Pierce Brosnan and Ellen Barkin as Nina's parents was refreshing and they did justice to their roles by just being the professionals they are...Pierce has a great comedic side, no doubt about it. Ellen more dry wit and to the point. Plot was fast paced and crazy but at least it didn't lend itself to being boring as some comedies tend to do. Think the criminal "partner" of Nina's parents wasn't the greatest acting by any means. Her accent was baloney and disingenuous really but portrayal of the criminal counterpart passable. Would like to see more comedy these days as there has been far too much intense violence and "shoot 'em up" which at this juncture; is a real drag. Need more lighter comedy to break up gravity & violent film these days.
