What's ironic about The Reunion is that its plot, though it revolves around a kidnapping set in Mexico, seems blind to current events. Go to Full Review Robert Abele Los Angeles Times 10/21/2011

The WWE's campaign to turn its brutes into box office deals another tepid hand with The Reunion. Go to Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 10/21/2011
There's one thing to be said about WWE Studios -- they're consistent. Every one of their movies designed to showcase their stable of popular wrestling stars has been a critical and commercial disaster. Go to Full Review Frank Lovece Film Journal International 10/28/2011

Stephen C @bob25009 Jul 12 Funny in 1 hour and 36 minutes!!!!!!! Starring John Cena as Sam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more 03/15/2020 I'm surprised of the bad reviews because I loved this movie. Great cast and it was entertaining. See more 01/08/2020 When the entire prison stands up to applaud Douglas (Boyd Holbrook). When he's paroled. You know, you can't expect any realism or originality. Especially when Cena's character has to hand over his badge right off the bat as well. This is also before Cena's acting improved by an inch. Which doesn't say much since he still looks like "duh" in every movie. His acting here is like he is just doing a segment in the WWE. The film seems to think it is original. With three brothers who hate each other forced to spend time together. Cliches like I mentioned earlier hold it back though. As well as a cast with no chemistry. See more 01/04/2020 Definitely wasn't the greatest movie of all time but it deserved more acclaim than it received. Script and plot weren't extremely original but were pretty good. Direction could've used work in some scenes but was nice overall. Definitely wasn't an A+ movie but in my opinion, it was fun. See more 11/17/2016 Not half bad for a random Netflix selection. Far from perfect by multiple measures yet oddly charming in a wsay that i wasn't expecting it to be. See more 06/09/2016 Brothers go into bail bond business and get caught up in a silly kidnapping plot in this action comedy that never seems complete. See more Read all reviews
