... View MoreI stopped watching the minute I spotted grandpa Willis (butt naked) being beaten up and eventually chased through the streets by the brothers of the twenty-something year old woman he had just slept with. I like grandpa Willis but I really think it's time for him to retire if these are the kind of scripts that are landing in his agent's inbox.
... View MoreDisgraced former LAPD Steve Ford (Bruce Willis) is the only licensed private detective on Venice Beach. The narrator John (Thomas Middleditch) is his eager assistant. Surf shop owner Dave (John Goodman) is his best friend. It's a series of odd cases. Lou the Jew (Adam Goldberg) is desperate to catch the vandal painting lewd graffiti on his building. Drug dealer Spider (Jason Momoa) kidnaps Steve's dog from his sister-in-law Katey (Famke Janssen)'s house and forces him to do a job.Bruce Willis used to be fun during Moonlighting and Die Hard. Somewhere along the line, he lost all the joy in his eyes. Him skateboarding in the streets naked should be hilarious but the humor is flat. It's very tiring when wackiness don't illicit joy. It's a long line of jokes that don't seem to work. It has to be Willis. Goodman is his second-in-command and he looks gaunt. Hopefully, he's just on a diet but the jolly isn't there. In better days, some of these gags would have been funny.
... View MoreI really love this kind of movies, lighthearted low ambition comedies with detectives or heists, sun and sea, and there are fewer and fewer being made. They can be really great, put in few famous actors that are having fun and it is a recipe for a classic.Unfortunately this is really bad, great casting on paper, but actors do not have fun, they act stiff, maybe because the script was poor (even though the basic plot itself isn't too shabby) or maybe they just didn't care. Goodman looks like he's focused on not falling dead at any moment, and Willis looks really uncomfortable outside of his standard action hero scenes. Jason Momoa's performance was the only one I felt up to star standards.Yes the actors are getting old and we can't expect blockbuster but I watched amazing comedies from Lemon, Matthau or Newman in their late years. This could be a gem and the wasted opportunity makes me really sad.
