I'd have left early, from sheer boredom, but I carpooled and had to sit through every mediocre joke and forgettable line -long after the novelty of this cash-grab had worn off. Now, this movie isn't a dumpster-fire or anything; the outfits are great, action scenes are flashy, visuals are clean etc etc. But honestly, it's hard for a movie in 2023 to mess the visuals up. This film gets 2 stars because it is just plain bland and, like a drunkard trying to walk a straight line, the tone clumsily tiptoes between goofy and serious without committing one way or the other. What you get is a movie that uses "shit" too often to be a kids' film, but also carries SO little weight or depth that an adult will likely forget what they watched within 20 minutes of leaving the theater.

Between all of the repetitive yelling (the f-word alone is said over 500 times), the characters CONSTANTLY talking over one and other, and the gruff voice that Adam Sandler burps out as he screams into various cellphones, this movie legitimately gave me a headache. The acting is bland, when it isn't riddled with overly-aggressive expletives, and I cannot say there was a single memorable line in the script (which I imagine was written using a single can of alphabet spaghetti). The film-makers could have easily shaved this dragging back-and-forth collection of close-ups down to 1 hour and 30 minutes. Maybe then I would have left, only mildly displeased instead of aggravated and in physical pain. Also, the ending is 100% predictable from the first 20 minutes of watching.
