Why is this film bad? Oh okay I get it now it is a Happy Madison Production; enough said: basically let's just fast-forward 50 minutes of this 95 minute film. So in a brief very small nutshell; Owen Browning [Adam Devine:] is a bank manager and in about a week or less he is getting married to Parker McDermott [Nina Dobrev:] has kidnapped, because unknown to her; her parents are infamous criminals known as the Ghost Bandit a.k.a. husband-and-wife Billy and Lily Billy McDermott [Pierce Brosnan and Ellie Barkin:] owe $6 million to Rehan Zakaryan [Poorna Jagannathan:] she used to be partners with this husband-and-wife.

The framework and pacing well as I have already alluded to the script frankly everything else related to this film; is painfully tedious, trust me when I say just follow my instructions and skip 50 minutes of this film, it just isn't amusing actually I think I laughed once, simply based on the fact I couldn't believe what I was watching and yes I actually celebrated with the person I was watching this film when we actually had storyline development with structure and actual substance instead of babbling garbage which yes it made sense, but as a viewer I just quickly couldn't care, you know when you get to that point where, I just don't care, they could win the lottery or get blown up from a rocket from outer space, up to a certain point in this larger time frame of 50 minutes you just lose the willingness to care to the point where you question everyone of your life choices at this point which made you want to watch this film in the first place. But to be fair roughly after this time, it has a reliable framework and pacing, it gets up and going. But then again it has to because it doesn’t have long to fit in some solidly good stuff.

Art: I mean don't you were wrong throughout this film from time to time there is some good art from the opening credits with all of these familiar figurines of legendary characters being used in a wedding seating arrangement or/and these other outlays.

Action/Comedy: after the 50 minute mark we have some solidly good action and/or comedy we have gunfight in this wedding cake shop and because of its close proximity it is messy, Owen picking up the gun but he quickly realises it is a part of a cake or a later on we have him assisting his new family members in this robbery dressed as Shrek calling out Donkey for his soon-to-be mother-in-law to take over or/and later on in this sequence has this combat sequence with this large man who then go and save his life, because at some point he has a heart attack and finally we have a reference to James Bond and the fifth one which if you didn't know was Pierce Brosnan's time within this franchise.

Character developments and performances: well to be honest and this is nothing lazy, if this is what they were going for with these character developments which in turn and performances they got what they wanted. So I can't criticise it too much, even though for what they were going for they were safe and reliable versions of what they are meant to be and what they wanted by the looks of it.

This film receives: 2/10, this film is poor; yes much later on it kicks into life, but now I have been amicable about this film, can I just very much highlight that I would preferably like to watch paint dry then ever watch this film again and one final thing it has one extra credit seen on-screen on the right-hand side as the credits are coming down.
