Central Intelligence
Bob Stone (Dwayne Johnson) shows up to his high school reunion party being beefy and looking fit, opposite to the times when him overweight and bullied about this. As it occurs he's here not only to attend the reunion. He is on a top secret case so he enlists the support of Calvin Joyner (Kevin Hart),the former 'big man on campus' who's been missing the days of his glory being a regular accountant.

A delight for the solitary reason that Hart and Johnson make it so.

The film has a firm grasp of Johnson's appeal as a leading man: He is Hollywood's most imposing ray of sunshine.

The window-smashing and car-crashing offer some giddy surprises, but the ridiculous yet bland gunplay is as generic as the setup.

No one can steal the show from Johnson and Hart. Their dual rhythms, alternately laid back and hyperactive, end up in a glorious and ridiculous kind of syncopation, unicornlike in its rarity and oddness.

The leads have chemistry, but there's only so far they can elevate such obvious material.

Central Intelligence won't blow you out of the theater, but you might be surprised at how well it works - how genuinely funny it is - given the familiarity of this concept.

If you are suffering from The Brexit Blues, then watching a tiny comic repeatedly clocking a hulking muscle man around the chops could be just what the doctor ordered.

With its canned, predictable action sequences and mirthless attempts at humor, it displays an ineptitude that is frankly shocking considering the talent involved.

The enormous Dwayne Johnson teams up with the diminutive Kevin Hart for a very funny mismatched-buddy comedy that blends comic action with a strong anti-bullying message.

Overall, Central Intelligence isn't 48 Hours... However, if you enjoy Hart's stand-up comedy, and his other numerous flicks, then you'll probably enjoy this one as well.

Doesn't have much going for it beyond its leading men, the leading men just might be worth the price of admission.
