Follows a dad who finds time for himself for the first time in years while his wife and kids are away. He reconnects with a friend for a wild weekend.


This is another buddy comedy or big star team-up for Netflix 

A meeting of the minds of two superstars. Mark Wahlberg and Kevin hart. Who seems to have lately made a career in these types of movies. 

Unfortunately, he is Usually in subpar comedies that barely Pass being believable and this film is no exception. In fact, it plays like a lighter and safer version of  VACATION FRIENDS with Lil rel Howery and John Cena. Though this film is racy itself.

The film’s Humor is more on the shocking side, but only because you have not seen the performers be so open to this type of humor before. 

While I would never say this film is a game Changer or offers something the audience hasn’t seen before. I have to admit I liked it purely as a guilty Pleasure. 

The film Made me laugh plenty of times. Yeah, the jokes were stupid but the film Feels fun and it is one of the few times recently where it actually feels like Kevin Hart is putting in an effort and trying. 

The film tries to humanize the characters more by presenting a married man in a rut. Flirting with having a more carefree lifestyle like his friend and his friend having to learn to take responsibility. While as life king friends allowing them to bond and get into misadventures. 

Maybe it’s the bigger name cast or the feeling that they are having as much fun making the film. As one might have watched the film. 

Even though Mark Wahlberg Seems A Little lost when it comes to his character. He shows that he is fake for whatever the film or the scenes throw at him And gets in with full gusto. Even though most of the situations make no sense. They at least seem to be somewhat inspired. 

Ilia Isorelys Paulino steals all Of her scenes and helps enliven the movie whenever she is on screens 

This is a nice time waster as long as you don’t think Too hard. As it might be that I have gotten used to Hart’s films like this. Don’t know if it is any better or worse than his usual. It could be that we are so used to the quality now that we accept it and just go with it or maybe this one does try a little more. As at least this film’s cast is more recognizable.

Written & Directed by veteran screenwriter John Hamburg, who in the past has written and co-written scripts for Ben Stiller in particular. Maybe he helped up the standards of the material.
