02.17.15 | Netflix | I remember this movie getting pretty mediocre reviews and not making any money when it came out. Was that due to unrealistically high expectations or something? I found this to be a perfectly decent and pleasant experience. It's a great cast, it's pretty funny, there's a little bit of heart in there... what's not to like? The only thing that felt odd to me was that the movie was a bit too comedic to give real weight to the action beats. I completely buy Bill Hader and Joe Lo Truglio as inept government agents but I don't really buy them as killers. And if it wasn't Kristen Wiig I might have a problem with the new-to-cursing gag but since she's so dreamy I accepted it with open arms. Fun solid movie here! |
