| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 1, 2022

While it has an undeniably bright and cheery exterior, underneath is little more than a fairly standard and borderline exhausting blockbuster.

Not a bad comedic role for Reynolds, who was once again a laugh a minute, and Taika Waititi was refreshing, but a bit corny in its formulaic wrap-up.

| Original Score: 8.2/10 | Feb 25, 2022

The film neither is incredibly fun or deep with the result from the film's overly long 115-minute runtime instead simply being mediocre.

What is important is that Ryan Reynolds is playing his typical character, who kicks ass and makes you laugh.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 28, 2021
