After he reconnects with an awkward pal from high school through Facebook, a mild-mannered accountant is lured into the world of international espionage. Calvin Joyner was voted in high school the guy most likely to succeed. 20 years later he's an accountant. As his high school reunion approaches, he tries to make contact with his old schoolmates. And someone named Bob Stone contacts him. He says that he was known as Robbie Weirdicht in school. Calvin remembers that he was picked on, as a matter of fact after an extremely nasty prank he left school. They agree to meet and Calvin is surprised by how much he has changed. Bob asks Calvin to help him out. He says yes and the next thing he knows some men burst into his home. They're CIA, the one in charge is looking for Stone, she says he's a rogue agent. When they can't find Bob they leave. Later he approaches Calvin telling him, he is not a rogue agent, he's trying to find a person known as the Black Badger who is planning to sell some information that in the wrong hands can be disastrous. so he needs Calvin's help to stop him. Calvin's not sure whom he should believe. Rented it for Thanksgiving along with Daddy's Home and it was way funnier than this. It does have its moments, but It is very dry. Johnson trying to act like he is back in high school fails. The bloopers were much funnier and am quite surprised that he did something like this. From the beginning I wondered when it was going to pick up. I thought Johnson and Hart, one cannot go wrong and was not what I expected. The ending was cute when they get to the reunion, but if I wanted to re-live high school, I can go to my own reunion. I like Johnson and give him credit for doing different roles because he can pull it off nicely meanwhile some celebs can only play one role and fail miserably when trying another, but this movie is not worth seeing again. I am glad I rented it from Redbox. I haven't seen a comedy movie that had made me laugh out loud in a while. Most movies nowadays throw in drugs, sex and parties which pretty much sums up most of the comedic movies that have hit the big screen in 2016. I wasn't expecting much out of this movie, but I knew that I had a decent chance to get a laugh.<br/><br/>Both Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson delivered with a chemistry which could only be described as bromance; a bromance which rivals Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker in rush hour 1, and 2. Now don't get me wrong here, I am not saying it was a better bromance than we witnessed in those movies, but it definitely gives those two a run for their money.<br/><br/>Grab the popcorn, hang on tight, and enjoy the movie like you were about to watch Jackie Chan in rush hour. It's a pity that no one else involved in the making of the film had Dwayne Johnson's sly intuition.
