Stuber

I watched this on the plane. Although a lot of the cursing was censored, and the strip club scene was pitifully cropped, this was FUNNY. Dave Bautista and Kumail Nanjiani understand and master that perfect, buddy-comedy dynamic. Bicker about everything but save each other’s asses when it counts. The director constructs Rube Goldberg action scenes triggering unexpected and hysterical chain reactions during which the leads are suitably vocal and alarmed. It's a throwback to the Shane Black buddy-cop movies of yore; skillfully nostalgic but with a new and unexpected wise-cracky tone. It’s light and funny; a solid airplane movie.
