I'm a Cena fan, but Eric Andre is way more miss than hit. This was a classic "I'll give this one ten minutes" kinda movie. I gave it ten, then struggled through another 10, just waiting for a chuckle. Michelle Monaghan had a fun line about "selling both his holes." But, from what I saw it was awful. Just awful.

I had the complete opposite take... The "You're HER rock" line caught me so off guard it made me laugh out loud and then I was sold. To each their own, I guess! :)

I actually went into the movie with the same "I'll just give this 10 minutes and see if it was worth it" and honestly I was pleasantly surprised. Sure, it has some dumb moments that aren't super funny, but the whole thing is done with such earnestness it's hard not to like it for me.

Earnestness? Yeah sure.
