would have worked as a solid comedy


all the characters are so wholly lacking in self-awareness it fits the comedy genre.

as a thriller it's just a weird & tone deaf unintentional comedy.




The food I've liked in my time is American country cookin'-Colonel Sanders 🇺🇸

I thought at first that it was headed in that direction. What a mess. Clooney and Roberts must have signed on just to make a little "walking-around" money.

I totally agree. This has a few comedic moments, which work fairly well, but I found it impossible to care for the thriller elements.

Yeah I couldn't tell for about the first half hour whether it was supposed to be a full on comedy. It would've been a terrible one, but it's an even worse "serious" movie.
