About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an upbeat action-comedy with big personality, quick banter, and flashy set pieces; Not for you if you dislike loud, ad-lib-heavy humor or a thin plot, and it pairs well with Bad Boys.
Pros: fast-paced action; funny one-liners; strong buddy chemistry | Cons: thinner story; recycled gags; uneven humor
