I wanted this to be good. I'm not a huge fan of Bert's standup, but I do love his whole Machine bit and thought this was a great idea for a movie - fusing his comedy routine into an action comedy. But the jokes mostly fell flat and boy did this movie drag on ...and on... and on. It had surprisingly very little action scenes and the jokes they wrote in mostly fell flat. It was just a lazily written movie down to the excruciatingly boring dialogue. It's been a long time since I saw a movie so bad that I was looking at my watch constantly throughout but that's exactly what happened here. I wished I could have gotten that two hours of my life back, because this was awful. It gets 3 stars because there was a chuckle or two in the movie and at least a few decent enough scraps of action sequence, but it could have been so much more.
