Review: Kevin Hart and his trademark shocked face in a standard locker-stuffing conceit that feels flat and unenergetic. Plus, it also talks absolutely nothing significant about the title or the premise.

Trailer Rating: B- / B / B

Review: (#1) There’s a lot of potential for funny in this film, but the trailer doesn’t give up enough of that. Hart and Haddish could be a terrific team, but the material is questionable at best.

(#2) A more competently funny trailer, this doesn’t seem to showcase much of the plot and why we should care is conveniently jettisomed for some solid jokes and a few stinkers.

(#3) The film still looks quite funny, but subsequent trailers aren’t helping boost interest in the film unless the interest was already there.
