CHARACTERS: Its not hard at all to take two strong actors like Robert Downey Jr, and Zack Galfinakis, who have proven their talents over and over in almost every movie and put them in a comedy. Both RDJr and Zack are hilarious in this movie. Robert's transitions from a bad guy to a good guy in a smooth easy transition. One thing i didn't like about this movie though, the chemistry between all of the characters seemed almost forced. Zach and Robert did their best to have chemistry, but it didn't flow very well. Downey's character the entire movie was supposed to be annoyed with Galfinnakis character the entire movie, yet some how enjoy his company during the climax.
I would like to say that i believed that Downey and Jamie Foxx were friends for 20 years, but i just didn't see it.
REVIEW: It was difficult to enjoy this movie. The movie was definitely funny every five minutes, but this movie seemed forced and drawn out. I loved the characters in this movie, and the twists were funny, but i feel they were drawn out. It was as if they made a movie because we wanted to see the two main characters together. This movie has been made a thousand times, (Recently, it was almost a "Hangover" spin off). Nonetheless the characters are solid, and the movies funny, but the movie's pace was slower then it should have been and i felt it needed something more then the bland storyline, and the partially forced humor.
SUMMARY:
GRADE C
REVIEW: I LOVE THE ACTORS, IT SHOULD HAVE WORKED MORE THEN IT DID. NONETHELESS, IF YOUR NOT A CRITIC LIKE MYSELF, THIS MOVIE IS GOING TO BE A LOT MORE FUN THEN I HAD. THIS MOVIE JUST DIDN'T WORK FOR ME. IT WAS FUNNY, BUT JUST DIDN'T WORK.
RECOMMENDATION: SEE IT IN MOVIE THEATRE IF YOU DONT TAKE MOVIES TOO SERIOUSLY, OTHERWISE AT HOME, WHERE YOU CAN DAZE OFF ONCE AND A WHILE.
I agree with most of the comments but not on the rating. My rating would have been much lower, C- at best. Good actors but everything was in fact forced and it was way too long!
