About
You may enjoy this if you like broad, misunderstanding-driven comedies with a satirical edge and a mismatched duo under pressure; Not for you if racial humor, slapstick swings, or preachy moments put you off, even in the vein of Ride Along.
Pros: interesting premise; strong lead pairing; a few funny moments | Cons: often unfunny; uneven tone shifts; offensive racial satire
