(maybe for showing the opposite rich-poor, which is not Hollywood PC, I dunno)
which made me think, it must be really bad - but I was wrong.
First the movie deserves really a 6.3 - 6.6, but a 7+ for family/light entertainment, feel-good and overall being very watchable, not demanding. It is nice, sweet, funny in a subtle way, which can't be said of so many movies nowadays. It's in the tradition of buddy movies with 2 very different characters, like 'The Green Book' or 'The Intouchables' (but certainly hasn't the originality or production values).
Andy Garcia seems not feel like playing anymore gangsters or bad guys, while the girl from 'His Dark Materials' almost steals the show, she may have quite a career ahead.
This film is not special, no superheroes, action or tricks here, but it has its own charm and I liked it.
