About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a loud, fast buddy action-comedy with nonstop jokes, chases, and a reporter-on-the-run setup; Not for you if you dislike crude humor, heavy swearing, or formula stories like Another 48 Hrs.
Pros: big laughs; lively action; strong duo chemistry | Cons: thin familiar plot; crude profanity-heavy humor; uneven second half
