Likes: Going into this film I turn off my brain relaxed and just enjoyed this film for what it was and it didnt disappoints which is surprising for a family comedy, usually when it comes to these film comedy just isnt funny. But I will admit with a Year of crappy film in 2019 its good to see a film that actually made me laugh.

While it felt like John Cena was trying to be funny he does give a heartwarming side to the film with the kids he rescues, the film actually takes on quite a few funny moments with the slapstick comedy, that you family and kids will love, with a little bit of a romance side.

 The Directing and cinematography along with the screenwriting is actually well put together, but I wouldn't go into this film expect drama or anything serious about this film because it just a mindless silly Fun family entertainment which gives this great entertainment.

I was kind of expecting John Leguizamo to be the comical part of this but OMG!! Keegan-Michael Key stole the limelight in this film with well time comedic moment that even I couldn't stop laughing at, this is actually the first time ive seen his comedy side actually work for a film, due to his great timing moments he is absolutely hilarious, that even the audience in the cinema was laughing at.

So ya I can honestly say it not a perfect film but its entertainment you're enjoying watching with some great outright hilarious moments placed in the right places with some heartfelt heartwarming moments.       

Dislikes: Some of the comedic didnt hit as well especial john Cena he tries to be funny but comes off a little too serious at the time, John Leguizamo didnt feel like his normal comedy but apart from that it was an entertaining film

Overall: Great placed Hilerious comedy moments, good acting from everyone, Great family Entertainment

Rating: 5 out of 5 for Entertainment / 7.5 out of 10 for a great family Entertainment
