I could have easily graded this like others in the yellow zone but chose to edge it up into green. There were many comical scenes that made the audience laugh but I admit the premise was silly. So bottom line no where near a blockbuster butI could have easily graded this like others in the yellow zone but chose to edge it up into green.

So bottom line no where near a blockbuster but just a fun movie to escape some of the realities of our crazy world.… Expand

The action comedy Stuber has Dave Bautista as a cop whose gone rogue when his case is being transferred. His sight's recovering from eye laser surgery, so he commandeers Kumail Nanjiani's uber drive in order to pursue his enemy. A strainedThe action comedy Stuber has Dave Bautista as a cop whose gone rogue when his case is being transferred. His sight's recovering from eye laser surgery, so he commandeers Kumail Nanjiani's uber drive in order to pursue his enemy. A strained premise, yes, but it kinda works in what is a generally entertaining film.

Bautista's the tough guy and Nanjiani's the sensitive guy. The whole opposites working together trope here is pretty worn and predictable. (There are in fact several tropes in this.) However, there are moments where the characters work pretty well. They lean so hard into Bautista being an over-the-top Dirty Harry character and Nanjiani being almost aggressively defensive in his "woke" ways that the characters make a place for themselves. Their discussions of their differences do provide some of the better moments, including one slightly more serious discussion about Bautista's character's childhood that is really well done.

The jokes that work are pretty much 50/50. Nanjiani has a lot of failed lines in the first act when he is being introduced. He gets better when he starts interacting with the chaos that ensues. I don't think this is Nanjiani's best work. Here he has do to rapid fire jokes, and I think he does better with slower-paced delivery. Bautista on the other hand: no notes; good job.

For a comedy, there are some above-the-call camera shots here. Violence is entertainingly over-the-top. Not There is one kill that is pretty memorable.

There is one civilian murder that I found gratuitous. It just didn't feel necessary to the plot.

This movie is fun, but it's lightweight. I recommend you see this, but you don't need to see it immediately or pay too much.… Expand

Really funny movie. I liked the two leads they had great chemistry together. The action scenes were a bit shaky but I did not see the movie for the action. I say see it I found it very funny.

"A new comedy duo?"
So first we have "The Rock" and diminutive Kevin Hart teaming on a few comedy films, now it looks like they're pitching us "The Animal" and "Silicon Valley's" Kumail for another comedic duo. "Stuber" is a fun little jaunt,"A new comedy duo?"
So first we have "The Rock" and diminutive Kevin Hart teaming on a few comedy films, now it looks like they're pitching us "The Animal" and "Silicon Valley's" Kumail for another comedic duo. "Stuber" is a fun little jaunt, not to be taken seriously of course, but it's a fun little ride with its cute little moments mostly deriving from Bautista's Hulk-like approach to situations against Kumail's electric-car prissy-ness. Fans of GLOW will be pleased to see "Liberty Belle" (Betty Gilpin) in this, too. (originally posted on IMDB 10/12/19)… Expand
