Craig Miller-Randle

I needed this, I laughed so much I thought there must be something wrong with me because it’s so absurd. But it is also very well done, highly entertaining & thank goodness, not divided over 8, plot losing episodes like everything else these days!

Cynical Netflix exercise in capturing an audience’s attention and desire for plot resolution with 2 reasonable episodes followed by 6 excruciatingly boring and rambling episodes that leave you wondering why you needed to know what was going to happen next when the answer is always ….nothing! I feel like I’ve lost 8 hours of my life I’ll never get back.

There’s something very unsettling about watching a person, male or female, in their late 50’s playing a goof ball. I like Sandra Bullock but the days of the lovable dim wit a la miss congeniality should be well and truly behind her…she clearly doesn’t realize it yet. This was one of the few movies that had me yelling at the screen in total disbelief at how corny and ridiculous it was, before finally turning it off about half way through. Yes it’s mildly funny putting a middle aged woman in a skin tight sequined pants suit and high heels into a wild jungle scene but we’ve seen it so many times before. The scenes of sexual tension between the 2 leads are so in yer face and icky they have you wishing they’d just get it on as quickly as possible but not for the right reasons. If you want to see a close up of Channing Tatum’s naked butt, long enough to be able to identify it in a line up at a later date, then this is the movie for you. Otherwise I wouldn’t bother.

Absolutely glued to the TV, binge watched over 2 nights, bloody brilliant!!
