Good Fun - First Laugh Out Loud Movie For a Long Long Time

Rating: 7/10 (2 November 2013)

I watched this film with little expectations - based on Jennifer's poor track record after Friends. However although she was one of the main characters she was ably supported by an excellent cast.
It was not pretentious - this was not a comedy with a hidden moral message - they were first time drug smugglers- whose only redeeming qualities were they were hopeless cases in their normal lives. You knew that they were good inside and that they would bond.
However the comedy - some adult- was laugh out loud - with the normal misunderstandings that create a comic situation - but unlike other movies the situations were not overly extended beyond the initial surprise factor - i.e. the tent scheme - this was funny but was kept short. Other films would try and make more out of this type of situation joke and in doing so ruin it and make it totally unbelievable. Yes the premise for the film was unlikely but once you get over that everything else was not such a big jump.
I would recommend highly - but I suppose I approached this film without hearing the hype so had low expectations - which I have now ruined for you as you will now - if you listen to me - have high expectations. Oh dear is this what they call a paradox? Have a beer, cuddle on the couch and enjoy without the kids.
