Reel Talk:


Remember those black and white animated spies from the Mad magazine that are always attacking each other with outlandish stunts? Well in this action comedy Pine and Hardy are the real version. The extent of the pranks they use on each other to attract Reese’s attention will have you laughing. But the hilariously funniest moments come at the hands of scene stealer Chelsea Handler as Reeses’s best friend. She is truly off the hook funny. This is a very good, exciting, funny, action packed (although a little over the top) movie that is worth the weekend admission with you wondering to the very end which one she will choose. To find out go out and see the movie……LOL!
