THE REVIEW:
This movie does its job. Its funny, energetic and comes with not a perfect storyline but an enjoyable one. I didn't mind sitting in my seat, catching the jokes and laughing out loud with the rest of the cinema on release day. Comedian turned actor Kevin Hart plays Ben, a peculiar man. He headlines with Ice Cube, he plays James, a crazy but tough cop in this buddy comedy movie. Ben takes a ride along to impress James but gets wrapped up in a case James is currently obsessed about. The storyline is as expected. A cop teaming up with someone he does not like, the pair have to get along in the midst of many arguments. The cliches do not run too deep, the director takes the conscious decision to use a varied amount. The ones chosen fit with the tempo and are genuinely funny.
Films genres like this come at least once a month. Its who's the front man that's going to make you want to watch it. Kevin Hart is a comedian, put him in front of a camera in a comedy movie and that's exactly what your going to get. His performance is where the money is, if the movie was going to fall flat on its face then he was there to save it. He seems to be enjoying his time in the spotlight doing what he does best. He showed great chemistry with Ice Cube. Fans will not be disappointing with the end product. This is what i call capitalizing in your prime. From his hit comedy stand up DVD "Let Me Explain" to this, is a good look.

The scrip picks up flaws when scenes are made just to fill up time. The further i went into the movie, the more predictable it got. Some twists didn't even make sense but thankfully the jokes did. The overall good outweigh the transparent script because the dialogue kept the jokes coming each scene. I wanted more character development between the two front man. There's just not enough background information to go on.

Kevin Harts enthusiasm and his Ice Cube partnership is definitely worth checking out.
