A Fun Time
1 September 2021
When Marcus (Lil Rel Howery) and Emily (Yvonne Orji) plan a romantic Mexican getaway, things get wild when they befriend Ron (John Cena) and Kyla (Meredith Hagner). What Marcus and Emily thought was just a vacation friendship, turns a real nightmare when Ron and Kyla turn up.

The main cast is the bright spot in this film. Howery and Cena complimented each other well and built a great relationship. Cena stole every scene he was in as the lovable lunk. Orji and Hagner also complimented each, and when the four came together, they were enjoyable to watch.

While the film is funny with some laugh out loud moments, it still felt formulaic. It follows a standard plot line with an insert joke here mentality. There are organic laughs that is a breath of fresh air, but you can see most coming from a mile away.

This is a perfect kick off your shoes and relax comedy. You're not getting anything new or ground breaking, but you're going to escape and laugh along the way. John Cena is turning into a scene stealer with every project he takes on. Watch this one with an open mind and not a critical eye and you'll have a great time.
