A perfect light evening filler where I laughed a lot. Bautista and Nanjinani worked great together. A movie I would probably watch again, which I can not say a lot these days.

Okay, the movie has been out for a while but the theater was decently filled. Granted, the story is not very original but it had some good action scenes and everybody in the audience was laughing and laughing and laughing. In the end I found it entertaining and funny and I liked both main characters.

Worth watching, not sure why there is so much hate for this movie. We enjoyed it.

There are many reasons to be grateful for movie theater subscription cards, but the biggest one is that I find myself checking out movies I wouldn't normally have gone to see, mainly due to poor marketing. Stuber is the common case of an awful marketing campaign that turned out to be a pretty solid summer buddy film, with two rising stars in Hollywood in Nanjiani & Bautista. It borrows from many buddy-cop classics but their chemistry is enough to put some of the comedy that falls flat over the edge and bring some laugh out loud moments to the forefront. Granted, there were many big comedic scenes that were in the trailer, but that's inevitable in this day and age, and shows you even further how poor the marketing was for the film. It won't make enough money, but I could have definitely gone for more entries into this series with Bautista & Nanjiani.

6.9/10

Nanijani was absolutely amazing!, this guy with his nerd-like personality, and great lines, will make you laugh... I enjoyed it, unexpected it will be such a cool film! Bautista also did a good job, and both lads together (although it's nothing new, relation between 2 extremely different characters) made a great couple. Watch it, you will enjoy it, if you like weird humour and good dialogues

This wasn't a great movie, but it wasn't a terrible one either. It had a good amount of laughs and I liked it more than I thought I would. It's been done before better, but it's a decent popcorn action comedy to kill a evening with. Might been more satisfied renting and watching at home, but I enjoyed it just the same.

I saw this at an advance screening, and went in hoping for the best. Given the popularity of ride-sharing services such as Uber and Lyft, I thought the idea for a buddy comedy about Uber could be both entertaining and timely, and the film has two strong leads (Kumail Nanjiani and Dave Bautista.) Unfortunately, this was a dreadful attempt at action comedy that has some (surprisingly) visceral action scenes, yet fails miserably at virtually every other aspect.

The film centers around a highly aggressive LAPD officer (Bautista) looking for a brutal heroin dealer. However, he cannot drive to the locations that he needs to go to due to his Lasik surgery affecting his vision. As a result, he gets in an Uber with a mild-mannered, composed driver (Nanjiani) trying to keep his star rating up, who has to keep going around with him to stop the dealer. The film's plot generally consists of going from point A to point B and point C, which is fine, but the story's narrative never manages to take any structural risks. As a comedy, "Stuber" falls pretty flat. While there are a few mildly amusing lines of dialogue, the humor is an awkward mishmash of cheap jokes about Uber, raunchy R-rated jokes, weak puns, and erratic pop culture references. None of the jokes or "points" of the narrative really add up to much significant. The more over-the-top moments in the film tend to rely on shock value just for the sake of it, unlike the better R-rated comedies that balance wit, irony, and strong writing with over-the-top content.

One of the film's biggest problems is its characterization. The film's two lead characters are far too "on the nose" to the point that it becomes difficult to even remotely suspend one's disbelief. This makes the characters more annoying than funny or amusing. The film's supporting characters are also embarrassingly written as their characterization is both paper-thin and of little prominence to the greater story arc as a whole. The actions of these poorly depicted characters end up serving as glaring clichés. While the film's (surprisingly intense) action is generally well-choreographed, that is the only thing recommendable about this otherwise disastrous action-comedy. Even though Stu wants to earn a five-star rating in this movie, the film itself is only deserving of 1 star. 2/10

Police detective Vic Manning (Dave Bautista) is obsessed with criminal Oka Tedjo who killed his partner. His boss Angie McHenry (Mira Sorvino) tells him to spend time with his daughter Nicole (Natalie Morales). Stu (Kumail Nanjiani) is a sad sack, obsessed with friend Becca (Betty Gilpin), and stuck in a dead-end job. Vic is having trouble with his vision and hires Uber driver Stu on a dangerous pursuit of the villain Tedjo.

The pairing starts off a little wonky. The premise is also a little wonky. It doesn't make sense that Stu wouldn't simply call the cops or not drive. Over time, the pairing does grow on me. They have some chemistry and Kumail gets more comedic rather than simply being a pathetic whiner. It's a basic odd couple duo on a road-trip police investigation. It's trying to be 48 Hrs but it's not at that level.

An Uber driver is forced to drive around town by a cop who is unable to drive or shoot straight due to temporary blindness. While one is obsessed with 5 star ratings, the other one is obsessed to nab a deadly drug lord. The film is very entertaining. Kumail Nanjiani and Dave Bautista r terrific. The film has genuine hilarious situations n one liners. The script is witty n the film fast paced. As a fan of Iko Uwais, I am disappointed with his screen footage n his unnecessary dyed hair but his martial arts rocks. The film has few hand to hand combat n some bloody shootouts.

It wasn't as funny as I thought it was going to be. It still made me laugh though. It had some heartfelt moments also. I wouldn't call this a must see but maybe if you don't mind cheesy comedy and don't take things too seriously it can be enjoyed. It was fun with the fam.

Title says it all, essentially it's Collateral but not even close to as good. Go watch that instead, would not be surprised if the writers and crew saw that movie and decided to just rip it off. Also title of this movie is dumb and sounds like a bad joke.

This isn't a bad movie in by any standards but for me it was one of those movies that suffered heavily from the use of over-advertising. There were at least 4 different trailers for this movie including the "red band" trailer so by the time I got around to actually watching the movie I had already heard a lot of the jokes that the film had to offer.

The action scenes were entertaining enough and Iko Uwais did an amazing job with his fight scenes as always. For what it is this movie is enjoyable I just wish they would stop putting all the jokes in the trailers.

Have a great time! Good action scenes and everybody in the cinema was laughing and laughing. Good fun, we really enjoyed it!

Predicteble Plot Funny Good cast

It has a predictable plot, but we are here for the jokes, and it delivers, the cast is fnny and the movie has a good message, about the what a modern "real man" needs to be in a fun way.

Batista has two vehicle movies coming out close together. This one and My Spy. I guess they think he's gained enough popularity from Guardians of the Galaxy for box office pull. Not sure if Stuber is going to achieve this for him. It's not a bad movie and there are some funny jokes in it though. Kumail Nanjiani Is really the funniest one? He steals the show. He makes a lot of quips under his breath that are hilarious, and you will miss them if you are not paying attention. I thought he was hilarious in Portlandia. Batista has proven himself to be a pretty good comedic actor too. He was funny in Guardians of the Galaxy. It's a little formulaic and some of the jokes are recycled, but as I said there is some genuine lol humor in it.

Starts fine but after 4-5 minutes it gets really, really boring... and it stays like that until the end. I want my time back...

This was not that bad if a movie really, it had its entertaining moments it had its funny moments. A very big downfall though that in this movie batista can not see correctly always tripping over things etc but then in some scenes he shoots people in the head, picks up small items and can fight people all with out having a problem with his eyes but in other scenes he struggles to fight struggles to pick up items and struggles to shoot. The guy stu is not as comical as the guy driving the taxi in deadpool but he does have his moments. So all in all its worth a watch its not terrible at all.

If you want to waste nearly 2 hours of your life put this on, seriously bad film, obviously a paid for by Uber production to promote their app

....it's a 6 instead of 7.6, it's because a bunch of people expected it to be an action fest where Bautista was the toughest guy in the room. They were disappointed. Too bad. Very decent flick, Kumail funny as always, Bautista showing some range, nice, good supporting characters...formulaic a bit? Sure. But worth watching, action, comedy, you could definitely do worse.

"Stuber" is an Action - Comedy movie in which we follow Stu, a mild-mannered Uber driver, who finds himself caught up in a wild adventure with a grizzled, trigger-happy detective. Together, they must take down a criminal while navigating the streets of Los Angeles.

I enjoyed this movie because it was hilarious and it had a simple but interesting enough plot that engaged the audience. The interpretations of both Kumail Nanjiani who played as Stu and Dave Bautista who played as Vic Manning were simply amazing and their combination worked very well. The comedic timing of Nanjiani and Bautista's deadpan delivery create a fun dynamic that carries the movie. In addition to this, the movie delivers several good laughs, especially when it explores the clash between Stu's calm, everyday life and Vic's intense, over-the-top cop persona. However, while the humor and action are enjoyable, the film doesn't bring anything new but that doesn't mean anything. The plot is fairly predictable, and some of the jokes seem flat, but the action sequences along the comedy and character development save it. To sum up, I have to say that "Stuber" is an entertaining, funny and enjoyable movie that's worth a watch if you're in the mood for something light-hearted.

This was so sadly made and what a waste of such good actors. I get it Uber just splurged some advertising money to get some attention but man this was just not funny at all

Good comedic pass the time movie. don't expect greatness but do expect a few laughs with some action mixed in.

5.9

It is violent, but I love the plot and the actors. Great comedy. We just couldn't stop laughing.
