Gangsters par alliance

I gave this comedy a chance because of the great casting with Pierce Brosnan, Ellen Barkin, Nina Dobrev and Michael Rooker, but even they couldn't save this mess. The chemistry between Dobrev and Devine wasn't convincing, mainly because Devine can't really act. Unless you're a fan of Adam Devine and Blake Anderson and their infantile humor in Workaholics, you probably will cringe and eyeroll your way through the lame comedy, which is pretty much spot on with the Workaholics series. It feels like a bunch of failed SNL sketches. The entire writing is cliched and predictable, and the directing does nothing to elevate the already irritating comedy and generic story. Had they cast someone actually funny, like a Kevin Hart, this would've been more enjoyable. If you're into snot-nose barf-up comedy, this may be for you, and all the pre-teens out there, but not for mentally stable and mature audiences. The bogus 10/10 reviews are funnier.

I don't know what's going on with movies lately but why are they so dumbed down? Like the crude humor? The unnecessary cussing. I don't get it. Comedies like American Pie, Superbad, and Easy A seem to be a thing of the past. Instead of using humor, crudeness and all in funny ways, now we just do and say random stuff that no human would actually do or say. I don't know who's in the writers room and if these are older people thinking they are hip and cool by writing this dialogue but it's really weird. Aside from the trailer giving it away, it was clear from the beginning who the robbers were. I think most of the actors were good, and did ok with what they were given. Sad to see the actor who played Tyree play such an over the top caricature instead of a character more real like in get out. Comedy just isn't hitting the same way. Maybe gen z thinks this is funny but as a millennial it missed the mark.

This movie was definitely not the best of 2023, not close to the best comedies out there, but it was enjoyable. This is a perfect family movie. No nudity or anything like that.

A good movie these days is a rare thing, especially comedies.

Its obviously low budget but that's why I rated it only a 6. A lot of room for improvement here and a bit goofy. But it kept me entertained all the way through, and that's what matters.

There's just one issue which I don't get it, maybe a plot hole towards the end, I don't want to give spoilers but that didn't make sense. Otherwise very good comedy. But I guess sometimes you just have to realize its a movie, just to have fun, and not think so seriously about it.

Acting was alright, pace was fantastic, never a dull moment.

This movie sucks. The only thing that saves it from 1/10 is that its a good cast and feels like a quality production compared.

First of all, the plot is silly. Silly plots can work if the script is funny. This was not. The characters are totally unbelievable and boring. For instance, having an FBI agent who works alone on the field and is bad at his job just feels old and boring. The dialogue sometimes doesnt make sense and is unbelievable. The movie wants to be a comedy but its just not funny. I didnt laugh once during the movie. I believe I smirked once at one of the comments from the main characters parents, but that was about it.

I finished the movie although I was very bored halfway through it. Afterwards I feel like it didnt give me anything. Not an interesting story, not interesting characters, extremely poor dialogue. Just not entertaining in any way.

I've never been a big fan of Adam, but Pierce/Ellen/Richard and Julie as the parents?! That meal scene alone was hilarious and worth the watch. Orgies?! How could you not cackle at Julie's character taking about attending those when she was younger? And I just love those four anyway. How fun to see Julie on screen again! I wish they would have all gotten more screen time though.

Same with Dean. He's outrageous and should have been utilized to a larger degree.

The main couple were fine, but everyone else stole the limelight.

I watch movies for entertainment. I'm not one to analyze them. Was I entertained? Yes. I enjoyed it.
