Good:

The movie was funny, it definitely had me Laughing Out Loud!  It may not have been the most “original” movie, but you’ll still a good laugh out of it.  Tracy Morgan and Bruce Willis worked well together, I enjoyed their chemistry.

Bad:

Again, the movie didn’t seem very original, just seemed like something I’ve seen done before.  The acting skills of the “gangsters” could have been A LOT better, if played by other actors.    Lastly, there was a lot going on in that movie, it was a little hard to focus and got confusing at times.

Over all, I think this movie is a must-see comedy for 2010.

My rating is 7 out of 10 stars.
