I haven’t watched it yet. But I noticed that local theaters in my area were playing both this and ‘The Harder they Fall’ for the past couple of weeks. before they dropped on their site.
Funny how Netflix wants to be in the theatrical game now. |

It's a treasure hunt movie, all Indiana ones etc. - except with poor acting - every line delivered with a wink to the audience.
Still, kinda fun, and Gal is pretty. |

We watched this weekend, was enjoyable. Not really great or anything but decent filler with some good chuckle moments.

I never saw her as a to[ shelf hot babe. She wasn't bad but a hot leading lady in Hollywood movies, that's not her. But, in this movie she is hot as **** despite her boobage size,

The critics were right. Just a soulless movie with really bad dialogue, and some of the laziest storytelling you could imagine. We're talking "my mother was an Egyptologist, that's why I know these things" kind of tier. There might be some kind of enjoyment to be had, you'll just have to find a way to turn your brain off to one notch above vegetative state. Careful not to go full Terri Schaivo!

RE: the movie, if you like Ryan Reynolds banter, you'll like it. If not, nope. |

I enjoyed the Ryan Reynolds "I am doing my monotone manic whisper as a I deliver my joke" thing when I was younger. He just doesn't do it for me anymore. I think he peaked with "Waiting".

I need to watch Waiting again. I hated it the first time. I’m open to being wrong here. But just because it peaked doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy it. |

Yeah, Van Wilder was also really funny. Dude hasn't aged a day since apparently. I almost don't want to watch Waiting again just because the memory of it in my head is so funny.

I had never watch Waiting until earlier this year on Netflix. I thought it was pretty damn funny.

It of course had some “you are really doing that?” moments but I found it plenty entertaining.
