About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a goofy underdog comedy with a mild-mannered hero and mall-set chaos; Not for you if you need sharp, consistently funny humor or a serious, action-focused thriller like Die Hard or The Spy Next Door.
Pros: goofy underdog energy; family-friendly jokes; likable lead | Cons: uneven laughs; predictable plot; critics call it dumb
