It’s a straightforward comedy so confident and consistently funny that it could, and should, invigorate the entire genre.

The movie delivers a slew of silly hijinks and physical comedy with an equal amount of heart as the two mismatched characters lean on each other to get through a notoriously bad day.

Mr. Hollywood

Could have been a decent Friday ripoff but it does not even come close to it. What happens throughout the movie does not feel authentic and nothing is earned and most all the jokes fall flat. Skip not even worth a background movie for the noise while you on your phone
