SAVING THE WORLD TAKES A LITTLE HART AND A BIG JOHNSON.

Twenty years after graduating from high school, Calvin Joyner (Kevin Hart) is contacted on Facebook by a guy who was spectacularly humiliated by bullies – and he turns out to have changed a lot. An action-comedy that benefits from Dwayne Johnson’s enthusiastic performance as a once-fat kid who’s now become a tower of a man but maintained his goofiness. The film has high spirits, but no star chemistry in the world is powerful enough to carry a story that’s so thin and contrived, has so few laughs and no tension whatsoever. 

2016-U.S. 107 min. Color. Widescreen. Directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber. Cast: Dwayne Johnson (Bob Stone), Kevin Hart (Calvin Joyner), Amy Ryan (Pamela Harris), Aaron Paul, Danielle Nicolet, Ryan Hansen… Kumail Nanjiani. Cameos: Jason Bateman, Melissa McCarthy.
