You'll Be Chasing Your Friends to the Theaters to See This Movie
This movie was amazing. The comedy was amazing and sustained throughout the whole film and the few action scenes were well done. My favorite type of comedy is when you can get a group of friends together and all they can do is make fun of each other and at the end of the day still love each other. The chemistry amongst the cast is felt throughout the movie and you can feel the deep love that each other has for the other.
