Synopsis:

From IMDb: “Fast-talking security guard Ben joins his cop brother-in-law James on a 24-hour patrol of Atlanta in order to prove himself worthy of marrying Angela, James’ sister.”

Trailer: D+

Review: This poster may better sum up the pointlessness of the film than anything could. That’s not what the designers were hoping, but it’s the first impression. Other than that, they are trying to get across the animosity of these two characters and the fact that they’ll be in a car together, but it betrays any sense of comedy one would expect outside of putting Kevin Hart in the film.

Trailer: C- / C

Review: Neither the first nor second trailer seem to do much with the narrative. The second takes the first several seconds from the first trailer as a whole, then mixes in parts of the first trailer with a small amount of new material. The second trailer does a better job establishing the film’s humor, but not enough to make it too different nor much more interesting.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
