First of all, I love Mark Wahlberg and Kevin Hart and have watched almost every movie of them. The trailer was quite promising and i expected a comedy, even if it was clear that the genre would not be defined new.
Unfortunately, this movie failed to be funny with it's jokes being questionable. Too many pointless jokes with guys displaying too much childish behavior. I know that's what the producers intended to do but i'm wondering who's enjoying such deviate storytelling? In conclusion, it was the first and the last time that I was watching this movie. Well done, one more movie that very likely no one will remember as it goes down in the archive of forgotten movies.

I don't think I chuckled even once during this whole movie. Both the dialogue and the storyline were bland and none of the jokes landed. Acting was fairly decent from the cast but the characters lacked depth. Plot was kind of all over the place and a lot of unnecessary back and forth. The ending was way too forced feel good, it was expected and delivery lacked any real empathy. Was expecting a lot more from this cast but surprisingly Hart and Wahlberg lacked the buddy chemistry needed to pull something like this off. Definitely a skip, not worth the time it took to watch. Like they pulled all the modern movie tropes and tried to pass them off as unexpected.
Guess I'll be the first to rate this then.
The movie just doesn't really get going. If it's aiming to be a comedy, it just wasn't funny. If it's aiming to be wild and wacky, then it fails in that category too.
I feel like to movie's idea was have Sonny have a wild adventure with Huck but then the budget said actually you guys have to film in the desert and suburbs and not really do much.
The writing was very lazy and both Mark and Kevin really just dialled in a sub par performance. Mark definitely didn't look like he wanted to be here.
Netflix really need to start adding good content again. It's flops like this which are causing people to leave.

...when big Hollywood names go for the big money and Netflix think they can score easy with those big names and with no effort besides that.
If Kevin and Mark weren't in this movie this would be considered a laughably bad B-movie. Come to think of it even with Mark and Kevin this is a laughably bad B-movie. The bad part starts in the first scene I mean just look at the CGI helicopter...
So apparently you need to have 600 characters in these reviews nowadays. So here goes. Kevin Hart puts up a predictable performance. The typical comedy we've seen him do now a million times in his movies. I mean I loved his movies but some point it's getting old. It's too predictable and too easy. Even Mark's brand of comedy is been there done that.

I am a big fan of Kevin Hart. He usually makes me laugh a lot. I saw the rating on IMDB and thought: maybe it's because it has just been released and doesn't have enough votes. No, it's bad, really bad.
The director decided to throw money everywhere and ended up with an American Pie wannabe movie for dads. I have watched 1 hour of it and laughed 0 times. They managed to make the funniest actor on earth, not funny at all, just cringe.
It's the first time I can't finish one of Kevin Hart's movies.
I just don't understand how he and Wahlberg accepted doing this. Is this really the guy that wrote "Meet the parents?"
Do not waste your time.
