About
You’ll likely enjoy this high-energy undercover buddy comedy if you like films that play with familiar buddy-cop and teen-movie clichés, like Superbad or Kick-Ass; Not for you if you want a straight, serious reboot.
Pros: self-aware satire; nonstop laughs; fun buddy energy | Cons: struggles to get serious; crude humor complaints; some mismatch in tone
