But some materials given to Ryan Gosling were just bad. Still a very entertaining movie to watch though.

This movie has everything a comedy title should have. Action, little bit of mistery and a lot, and I mean a lot of funny scenes. Ryan G. as well as Russel C. are brilliant in playing funny characters. Definitely worth the watch if you are in a pursuit in a comedy movie, great 120 min. to spend. I give it an 8/10.

Although it appears as a pilot for a TV series (since it screams for sequel(s)), this movie can remain "as is". It is fun to watch, most of the time something happens, some dark jokes and the "dynamic duo". Mr. Gosling finally shows his acting abilities (pretty good, for that matter) and Mr. Crowe' s art is not affected by aging. On the contrary. He does not have to be some Roman general to do his job with excellency. Story is a bit mumbo-jumbo, but direction is good. Also, the Australian girl (Angourie Rice) has a bright future, if she does not blow it. Yaya DaCosta is beautiful and Ms. Basinger still has it. All in all, worth your time. Go for it.

This abortion of a film represents everything that is awful about Hollywood today. Obviously directed by some 20-something, spoiled brat who thought that showing kids using four letter words and being sexual, would make this piece of crap "edgy." Well it doesn't. Pathetic jokes that flop, and desperate attempts to shock with pointless nudity, are what this film is all about. Supposedly set in the 70's it even fails at that; the movie looks patently 2016. It tries to be sexy and comes across as pathetic. I'm sure this one scored points at frat houses throughout America. As a fan of everything 70's, this movie made me kind of sick. Definitely the worst thing Gosling has ever attached himself too, and Russell Crowe's career remains firmly in the toilet with this one. The saddest thing is the high score this thing has; has the intelligence level of the masses really declined this much? So sad..
