...when big Hollywood names go for the big money and Netflix think they can score easy with those big names and with no effort besides that.
If Kevin and Mark weren't in this movie this would be considered a laughably bad B-movie. Come to think of it even with Mark and Kevin this is a laughably bad B-movie. The bad part starts in the first scene I mean just look at the CGI helicopter...
So apparently you need to have 600 characters in these reviews nowadays. So here goes. Kevin Hart puts up a predictable performance. The typical comedy we've seen him do now a million times in his movies. I mean I loved his movies but some point it's getting old. It's too predictable and too easy. Even Mark's brand of comedy is been there done that.

1) Boot laptop
2) Open "Movie Formula 2c - Family Comedy.doc" file
3) Change husband profession to Homemaker/School Talent Show director
4) Change wife profession to architect
5) Change house pet to tortoise
6) Change relationship with troublemaker to "best friend"
7) Find and replace "Main Character" with "Kevin Hart"
8) Find and Replace "Secondary Character" with "Mark Wahlberg"
9) Find "primary action joke" scene - insert joke sequence 17A
10) Print and distribute.
There ya go.. this film in a nutshell. There's NOTHING original here. It's all terribly predictable without any surprises whatsoever.
That being written, it's not "terrible" - it's just VERY run-of-the-mill. NO ONE is stepping outside any comfort zones here - not the actors, not the writer/director.... no one. I, personally, found no laughter here - I saw the attempts, but all the jokes fell completely flat for me. Watch with the family.. teenagers or "tweens" MIGHT like it more - merely because they may not be aware of some of the 'the world doesn't work like that' aspects. But it's just sugar-coated standard schlock from Netflix's "family comedy" sweatshop.

I am a big fan of Kevin Hart. He usually makes me laugh a lot. I saw the rating on IMDB and thought: maybe it's because it has just been released and doesn't have enough votes. No, it's bad, really bad.
The director decided to throw money everywhere and ended up with an American Pie wannabe movie for dads. I have watched 1 hour of it and laughed 0 times. They managed to make the funniest actor on earth, not funny at all, just cringe.
It's the first time I can't finish one of Kevin Hart's movies.
I just don't understand how he and Wahlberg accepted doing this. Is this really the guy that wrote "Meet the parents?"
Do not waste your time.

First of all, I love Mark Wahlberg and Kevin Hart and have watched almost every movie of them. The trailer was quite promising and i expected a comedy, even if it was clear that the genre would not be defined new.
Unfortunately, this movie failed to be funny with it's jokes being questionable. Too many pointless jokes with guys displaying too much childish behavior. I know that's what the producers intended to do but i'm wondering who's enjoying such deviate storytelling? In conclusion, it was the first and the last time that I was watching this movie. Well done, one more movie that very likely no one will remember as it goes down in the archive of forgotten movies.

It was suppose to be a comedy movie and when i saw the main cast i was really into it.
Mark and Kevin has some great comedy movies. How bad this could go wrong... well it went horribly.
Jokes were so bad and predictable that even Kevin Hart couldnt execute in a fun way and Mark was complete like a guest star.
I hope they can meet in a better project with a better story that we can have fun and good time.
It is one of these movies that the trailer is better than the whole movie. Netflix really needs to change the movies department. They have only couple of good series and thats all.
I cant say anything for the rest of the characters. Because they were so cliche. Writers tried to make them funny as well and ended up being annoying. Uber driver to get help, really.
