5/10

Right ingredients wrong quantities.

I think the movie was counting on the talent of the leads to make it a great movie and Kumail Nanjaini has some great jokes Issa Rae has some clever lines but there's a big part of the movie where I found myself frustrated at the decisions of the lead characters, the movie seemed motivated by the reality TV mould in the sense that they wanted to use irrational behavior of characters to create drama and a plot foundation,in the end it ends up very average while still watchable.
