About
If you enjoy male buddy comedies built around awkward legal trouble and the push for respect, you may like it; Not for you if you dislike stereotype-driven humor or feel strongly about LGBTQ representation, like in Grown Ups or Picture Perfect.
Pros: friendship-and-acceptance message; often-funny moments; engaging premise | Cons: uneven comedy; slow pacing; stereotypes/offense concerns
