Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Central Intelligence (2016)

In high school, Dwayne Johnson was the chubby loser & Kevin Hart was the golden boy who was also the only one who showed kindness to young Johnson. Twenty years later, though, things have changed. Dwayne’s still weird, but he’s BUFF and has a cool job. Hart has become an unfulfilled accountant constantly being passed over for promotion. Though he has a smokin' wife, she thinks they need therapy. When Johnson shows up in need of help, Hart is sucked into madcap action and so are we.

It’s fun, but not as fun as I hoped it’d be. There was nothing distinctive about it at all -- it was like so many other jokey "hey look over there" films. At least the two leads are charming as hell.
