nothing

The best way to describe this is it is a Nothing movie.Put it in the same slot as Bridget Jones and Mama Mia..

Nothing wrong with that I hear you shout..but here's the thing.

While it's not a bad made movie and brings enjoyment to a few people...in this case middle aged ...everybody does a good enough job and does their best..it doesn't actually go anywhere or do anything and as soon as it goes off is erased from your memory.

As a regular movie buff who goes 3 or 4 times a week and has seen everything that hits the screen I feel that the money behind this and a few others around at the same time could be put together to make a proper movie.

Imagine this and the likes of the hangover movies budget to make a movie like Revanant or Spotlight...something that could push the boundaries of film making ..instead of just being a safe ,,half baked affair.

Not a bad movie as I said but found the 1 Dimensional and stereotypical characters a tad banal and may I add a bit sort of racist.

Very few small laughs and reminded me of a 90 odd minute trailer.

Take your nan to see this before you go to see Batman V Superman or just stay at home and watch some tired American sit com.
