[Review] The Man From Toronto (5.5/10)

What attracted me to the movie was watching the trailer I was very entertained.

Kevin Hart is really a hit or a miss when leading a movie. Sure, partnering him up with Woody Harrelson could be interesting and fun; but it really comes down to whether or not his character is entertaining enough. 

(Like his new Netflix movie with Mark Wahlberg, that looked like too much of a cliche for the both of them.)

The good thing was I didn't mind following Hart's character throughout the movie. The humour and his schtick worked to the movie's benefit. And Harrelson always deliver, though I would have liked to see a younger actor in this role that could have delivered at least some of the stunts. Not to mention when he was partnered up with Caley Cuoco.

I will have to admit as well, if I had to pay for a cinema ticket, I may ended up hating the experience. But I was watching this at home, in the comfort of my bed, so I had fun with it.
