About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a silly undercover-disguise comedy with big, broad jokes and some mild crime tension, similar in spirit to Black Knight or Malibu's Most Wanted; Not for you if crude humor and predictable setups bother you.
Pros: big goofy laughs; energetic lead performance; light suspense beats | Cons: crude gross-out jokes; predictable thin story; humor feels recycled
