About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a rowdy, sometimes sweet road-trip comedy with two mismatched leads and lots of bickering, like Horrible Bosses or Office Christmas Party; Not for you if you need tight pacing, believable logic, or consistent laughs.
Pros: strong lead chemistry; a few big laughs; odd heartfelt moments | Cons: too long runtime; uneven, hammy gags; flimsy, contrived plot
