Kevin Hard as Calvin Joyner

Calvin was the most popular kid in high schoo. Voted most likely to succeed he is ready to take on the world and be the man he is meant to be. Bob was the most picked on kid at school. No friends, and humiliated in front of the whole school, he leave to be heard from again. Twenty years later, on the brink of their reunion, Bob reaches out for Calvin's help. In the process reveals that he is a spy that may or not be on America's side.

It's very hard no to go wrong with anything funny when Kevin Hart is involved. This movie did not disappoint. It was every bit as funny as you think it's going to be and then some. As funny as Hart is nothing was as funny in this movie as Dwayne Johnson was. When you think about putting these two in a movie together you think something along the line of Ride Along. You think the Hart is going to play something of a fool and Johnson is going to play the super spy who is tough and no nonsense. That is not how this play out at all. The fact that Johnson gives Hart a run for his money in the humor department for this movie. Johnson is the lovable fool, the child at heart if you will, that really can kick some ass. Johnson by far was the biggest surprise from the movie. It's the first time that I can recall that he didn't play the no nonsense character.

This movie is filled with joy, and a little mystery. The story is about finding out who is really the spy of the enemy and it has you looking in several different places to find the answer but it keeps you laughing all the way to the answer.

The highlight of the movie and that it was hilarious without it having to get nasty to get a laugh. That you can have a fun time, and laugh you socks off, without have to make disgusting and cruel jokes to get a laugh.
