Directed by: Rawson Marshall Thurber
Written by: Ike Barinholtz, David Stassen, & Rawson Marshall Thurber
Starring: Dwayne Johnson & Kevin Hart
Bob Stone (Johnson) was not popular in high school. After an embarrassing incident, he leaves school, but not without making his one and only friend, the most popular guy in school, Calvin Joyner (Hart). 20 years later, Calvin receives a Facebook request to reunite with Bob. Unsure, he accepts the request and they meet up for drinks. Unfortunately for Calvin, Bob is not the same guy he was in high school and now works for the C.I.A. He drags Calvin into an espionage mess where Bob is being framed for betraying the country.
First off, I didn't think this film was that funny. I chuckled a few times, but nothing crazy. Despite that, I did like the collaboration of Johnson and Hart. They have good chemistry and will probably work together again in the future. I especially liked Johnson's character this time around, because it's very different from the ones he has played beforehand.
The story did keep me interested though. I was intrigued to see what was going to happen with both characters so that was a plus. But that's about it. 3 popcorns.
