Just finished the movie last night. We enjoyed it a lot. Not much action or anything else but interesting enough to keep us starring at the screen all the way to the end. Al and CJ have done it again. They are in a class of their own.

I enjoyed some parts of it. Some of the humor was a little too stupid for the quality of actors.

It did sort of have a 'middled aged woman with too much money feel-good' movie vibe. It sort of feeds the mental mentality of older people's view on the world as they attempt to retire co-existence and live on the past a little bit. I don't blame them, but the old veridical people poised against moral turpitude is a little to "wrong vs. right" "good vs. evil" for me; it lacks some complexity.

The most nostalgic thing was maybe the use of pistols vs. assault rifles. While rifles have always been around, we have to remember not even police typically carried anything besides a pistol for a very long time. It seems like there was a pretty big gap between the Tommy-Gun and AR-15, and their age would fall them into a lot of it. At least I thought about that.

I agree that the movie has some flaws but I think it is quiet entertain. We laugh out loud when Al got a whole bunch of "pills" and end up in the hospital. It is stupid but fun too watch.
