Overall, Central Intelligence isn't 48 Hours... However, if you enjoy Hart's stand-up comedy, and his other numerous flicks, then you'll probably enjoy this one as well.

This is a tongue-in-cheek buddy movie that's above average, but not too far above average.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 10, 2016

Hart and Johnson got me to laugh, their antics just ridiculous enough to keep me entertained.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 9, 2016

Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart give Central Intelligence all the charisma they can, and through their combined sheer force of will, this comedy works.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 1, 2016

Summer blockbusters used to be reliably homophobic but, thanks to Johnson, this one's approach to love and lust seems genuinely new wave.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 4, 2016

It's a plot that doesn't hold up under scrutiny, particularly in the scattershot climax, but the gag rate is so high that this doesn't matter as much as it should.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 4, 2016

Inevitably, the creepiness fades, the charm increases, and the film becomes progressively more bland and predictable as a result.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 1, 2016

A fine film to watch if you feel like taking an easy break from the real world.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 1, 2016

There are significant flaws that likely would have sank other films, but it's nearly impossible to dislike Central Intelligence simply because Hart and Johnson are so radiant in it.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 30, 2016

This is a likable odd-couple action comedy from director and co-writer Rawson Marshall Thurber, who gave us Dodgeball.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 30, 2016

If the race were on to find 2016's best stupid buddy-caper comedy, Central Intelligence just took an early lead.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 30, 2016

The thin, disjointed thriller plot is little more than an excuse to show the characters reacting in opposed ways: Bob typically cruising through life-or-death situations, while Calvin freaks out.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 29, 2016

A silly and endearing buddy film with a waning plot.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 27, 2016

The window-smashing and car-crashing offer some giddy surprises, but the ridiculous yet bland gunplay is as generic as the setup.

| Jun 27, 2016

Doesn't have much going for it beyond its leading men, the leading men just might be worth the price of admission.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 24, 2016

No one can steal the show from Johnson and Hart. Their dual rhythms, alternately laid back and hyperactive, end up in a glorious and ridiculous kind of syncopation, unicornlike in its rarity and oddness.

| Jun 23, 2016

An action comedy without any action or comedy - not even The Rock's charisma and enthusiasm can save this dud.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 19, 2016

Sure, it's junk. But it's high-spirited, good-natured junk, and its heart is in the right place.

| Jun 17, 2016

The film has a firm grasp of Johnson's appeal as a leading man: He is Hollywood's most imposing ray of sunshine.

| Jun 17, 2016

Central Intelligence won't blow you out of the theater, but you might be surprised at how well it works - how genuinely funny it is - given the familiarity of this concept.
