Not all of its jokes land and it seems to run out of things to do after the second act, but I laughed enough to find it worth my time.

The chemistry between Dave and Kumail is undeniable and they truly uplift this movie far beyond what it should be.

I wish they took more advantage of the premise, It felt like they kind of ran out of things to do before we even got to the second half of the movie. And by that point, It just kind of limped to the finish.

I'd happily check something else out starring the two as long as it wasn't a sequel.… Expand

Considering the trailers I saw, this movie has no business being as competently amusing as it actually is. But, alas, he we are. "Stuber's" admittedly shocking lack of failure stems mainly from the chemistry and inherent comedic talentsConsidering the trailers I saw, this movie has no business being as competently amusing as it actually is. But, alas, he we are. "Stuber's" admittedly shocking lack of failure stems mainly from the chemistry and inherent comedic talents behind the leads in question. Dave Bautista and Kumail Nanjiani make for a likable pair, both bringing their trademark commitment and watchability to every scene, even elevating some of the film's weaker material into a realm where you can at least crack a smile or even chuckle. Not a whole lot else to say about this one, as the story and character work at hand can vary between being basic and just plain "meh." It's simply a watchable comedy, and a surprising one, at that.… Expand

While "Stuber" is light and entertaining, and there is chemistry between the two leads, the jokes do not land consistently, and the plot is very uninteresting.

Decent buddy cop flick, Kumail Nanjiani and Batista (I still call him that from his WWE days) have great chemistry and Batista is pretty funny but the story is relatively hit and miss.

+Great cast
+Decent cinematography/production value
-Weak/improvised sounding screenplay -Pacing off enough to make the 90 min run time feel like 2hrs! I enjoyed this less than I expected... Something feels off and the chemistry of Nanjiani+Great cast

I enjoyed this less than I expected... Something feels off and the chemistry of Nanjiani and Bautista just never really lands and the screenplay... well its improvised scene after improvised scene ad nauseum so about as good as any 80's/90's comedy vehicle minus the energy of that all essential comedy writing talent which just isn't here. Still in spite of all it fails to achieve I kinda enjoyed switching off and watching the predictably chaotic buddy cop plot unfold.… Expand

An average movie with heartwarming performances from Bautista and Nanjiani. The chemistry between the two acotrs in nice and there are some funny moments. But it's not funny enough to recommend it. Watch it if you want something fast and light

When Dave Bautista said he would rather be in good movies than the Fast & Furious franchise, he said that as a turning point in his career after his regret starring in this movie.

Well, there's my fan fiction for you guys. Hope you liked it.

Stuber could have been less generic in terms of cop comedy. The story is ok but not really great. It gets better when the daughter of the cop is present. There was something there that could have been exploited much sooner, and more often.Stuber could have been less generic in terms of cop comedy. The story is ok but not really great. It gets better when the daughter of the cop is present. There was something there that could have been exploited much sooner, and more often. The acting in general is good but the comedy is missing punch, clarity and interesting lines. So the dialogs feels funny in very brief moments. The slapstick humor didn't really work because you could see it a mile away. The actions wasn't something to brag about. The music was forgettable. I give it 45%. Not that Stuber was bad but this is the kind of film you will watch once, and forget about it.… Expand

Surprisingly there's a good and functional chemistry between Nanjiani and Bautista but the main problem lies in everything else and is that this is the kind of comedy that depends on how little you demand from it to make it look more fun thanSurprisingly there's a good and functional chemistry between Nanjiani and Bautista but the main problem lies in everything else and is that this is the kind of comedy that depends on how little you demand from it to make it look more fun than it really is.… Expand

With me, most of the audience found the movie pretty funny overall.

I think the jokes are more intended for adults in their mid 30s-40s, however this was a problem for me as i didn't get most of the jokes in the film. Action was decent and somewhat exciting.

If you want to see a decent comedy film, go ahead and see it.… Expand

A buddy cop movie that, although updated, is not saved with citationism and meta-citationism from too many and famous precursors. It should have dared more by pressing further on the accelerator of excess.
