Few problems, but otherwise really enjoyable (spoilers)


Just a few things that bothered me...

Chris Pine being a bad guy and screwing over Stretch. He already had two other people out to get him. I really didn't like this, and thought they could have done it differently. But I guess it made sense because he made a living screwing over other people.

The thing between Stretch and Charlie. We get the feeling that they are friends, but it isn't until later on we see she seems to really care for him, and he responds xoxo. Yeah, just confusing.

hen Stretch heads back up to pick up Karos, and everyone comes running out of the gate. It's just stupid and them meeting up could have been done differently.

Stretch overacting in the club. Obviously Laurent knew he was full of *beep* but did nothing. Make sense when we find out it's a FBI operation.

So Stretch and Charlie get together, but Stretch has no job, and has a warrant out for his arrest. He also still owes the bookie $6,000. Jovi and his brother Caesar are still out to get him. The story doesn't feel resolved. Instead, they shoehorn in this romance for a happy ending, which seemed a bit out of place.

I just have one question: Who's pink car with destiny plates? It can't be Charlies.

The movie could have been much better. Still enjoyed it. Lots of laughs too!

Nadia01 and Blackalaureate don't care about white people.

Nitpick much?

The movie had it's fair share of "problems", but not the ones that you pointed out lol

1. Chris Pine didn't screw him over like it was personal, that's just who he is and that's called staying in character - it made the movie better.

2. They seemed like good friends throughout the entire movie but Streach never saw Charlie as a love interest cause he was still obsessed with the other girl.

3. It was a party for nutcases like Karos lol, what you think!

4. He was not overreacting, he was acting to get out of that pickle he got himself into; the feds had no idea who Streach was and they bought his acting, hence, Laurent at the end says I believed everything you said, you should act professionally.

5. That's a good plot for part 2.

When you watch a movie, watch it properly but I agree I could've been much better; I only rated it 6.

In your opinion. Then again, I stated at the start that these were things that bothered me.

1. But he did screw him over. I just didn't like that Karos turned out being a bad guy.

2. I don't remember exactly what happened, as it has been a while since I saw the film, but she was so obviously into him. He basically had her in the friendzone. Yet he replied to her with "xoxo" as friends, before he found out she was the one he had been talking to. Is that not weird?

3. I thought it was just stupid.

4. The actor was overacting.

"xoxo" means hugs and kisses lol. Some people end their email, texts, basically everything with xoxo. Is your 1st language English?

He was overacting because he was bluffing\acting within the movie, so the fact that you can differentiate the difference between his acting and script acting just adds to the realism. I don't understand what you are complaining about. The rest of your debate is your opinion of what you didn't like and what YOU thought was stupid so no comment there.
