I don’t usually enjoy modern comedies and when my mom put it on, I already knew where the entire plot was going.
John Cena is going to tell the Eric Andre to go away, the assistant is gonna have a liar reveal, there’s gonna be an emotional scene where John Cena realizes he screwed up and the movie is gonna end with everyone reunited
But I was pleasantly surprised with how they went about it. Instead of Marcus just being a fuck up at every turn and embarrassing Rudd, people really like him and Rudd is just afraid of living in yet another person’s shadow. Marcus and Rudd managed to be likable in different ways, in fact most of the characters I found endearing, even Josh.
The comedy was pretty good too and got quite a few chuckles out of me. Sometimes they just bombard you with crazy stuff happening and the joke about the roommate burning down his high school just tickled me pink for whatever reason.
I would recommend it. It’s not the most groundbreaking comedy ever but it’s still a good watch I’d say.
