Surprisingly funny

Can't stand Kevin Hart or Dwayne Johnson movies, they both suck as far as movies go, but this was a surprisingly great combination. The plot had great set-ups that genuinely had me rolling. The Rock and Kevin Hart had good chemistry together, and all the trolling done by Dwayne's character and how Kevin would react to it was hilarious. All the other characters did a good job too, also loved Aaron Paul's Breaking Bad reference, "BITCH" made me chuckle.

GOD why am I praising this piece of crap. Just came to share my opinion, don't mind me....wouldn't mind a sequel.

I don't think I laughed once honestly. Stuff on screen was obviously supposed to be funny, but I just sat there stone faced wondering when it would get good. Then the credits rolled. Which is a shame because the leads were actually not bad together I don't think. They just had nothing funny to say or do unfortunately.

I laughed a bit. I loved the end where he showed up at Golden Jet's house dressed like Jake Ryan from 16 Candles!

I LMAO through most of it. I thought it would be overreacted and dumb but I was in hysterics.

I also came in not expectations but really enjoyed it. I thought Dwayne was surprisingly good, playing a socially awkward nerdy guy slash super agent! Kevin Hart was the perfect muse for him and I highly recommend it for anyone wanting a little break from the real world for 2 hrs.

Yep, same here! We rented it on a whim, because we tend to love Dwayne and Kevin together (great chemistry). Laughed so hard most of the way through the movie, just hilarious. You can tell they adlibbed a bunch of stuff, and it really worked.
