About
You may enjoy this if you want a goofy, slapstick spoof with crude jokes and don’t mind a thin mystery; Not for you if you want sharp detective storytelling or subtle humor like Zoolander 2.
Pros: a few laugh-out-loud bits; silly slapstick energy; familiar duo chemistry | Cons: crude lowbrow jokes; uneven pacing and lulls; messy basic storyline
