Too long ?

Rating: 6/10 (17 June 2012)

Just watched this last night, when i saw how long it was my first thought was that this is way to long for an "action/comedy" movie and, i was right. That's not to say the movie was bad (i gave it a 6 after all), it's just that films in the action comedy genre tend to over run, for me an ideal length for this type of movie is 80mins maybe 90mins max, as the comedy aspect always tends to wear thin after about the hour mark, it's very hard sustain. I thought the 2 main characters were well cast, and i do like movies with Jonah Hill in them, the story was OK, though nothing really different, an enjoyable movie.
***SPOILER ALERT*** The movie was starting to drag towards the end but an excellent cameo by Johnny Depp was a stand out moment in the film and regained my interest immediately, without that appearance this would have been a 5 rating from me at best.
