A solid, if unremarkable, action comedy movie that can’t quite decide what it wants to be. This leaves each element - the action, the comedy, the character beats - a little underbaked and tonally inconsistent.
Too frequently it substitutes style for substance - Christopher Lloyd makes faces but isn’t given anything to do, Sharon Stone is asked to give a mega acting performance which seems great but from a different movie. No actor or sequence is bad, but you can’t help but imagine what could have been.
But this is awfully negative review for a not-bad movie! It had a shootout as someone went down a water slide! I could have watched Colin Hanks and Bob Odenkirk bounce off each other forever. Very often, someone decided to shoot the hell out of this and it showed - the early fight montage and the arcade fight both stand out.
