Trivia

Although the white male character of Bennett is profiled as white collar and frank about racial topics, even when his comments may seem racially offensive, he has a wife whom is black. She is seen briefly twice toward the end of the movie, and she is the only female associated with any of the male characters who has no speaking lines.

User Reviews

Ignore ratings, very good film!

This film is much better than it's rating! Obviously it's not jammed full of amazing special effects and Oscar winning performances but it doesn't pretend to be either. The film is what it is a light hearted, feel good, comedy romance.

Strongly recommend watching if you're feel a little bored or want a movie to kill time with some great laughs provided by Kevin Hart.

The story line is a little predictable but no need to worry because the laughs make up for it. All I can say is just watch the film, you won't be disappointed, I'm certain you will be pleasantly surprised.

Great film 8/10 will be looking out for part 2 :)
