The main problem is LaKeith…


This dude was about the poorest choice you could’ve ever picked for a comedy lead - or even a straight-man lead. I think he was awesome in Atlanta, but be sucked out loud in this (god - the crying/"emotional" scenes...I almost started to laugh).

He has no charisma, no timing, no emotion, and he was outclassed by every supporting actor tenfold. Not to mention he mumbles every line. Yea the writing was mediocre, but a strong lead could’ve really elevated this claptrap.

I don’t expect we’ll see a whole lot more of him after this.
