    Boring and uninspired. I struggled to stay awake, and the characters were forgettable.

    The perfect blend of action, humor, and heart. One of the best movies I've seen in years.

    A solid, enjoyable film. The performances were good, though it didn't really break new ground.

    Great concept, poorly executed. There were too many plot holes, and the ending felt rushed.
