RYAN: I was eagerly anticipating this film; rooting for it to be good but super worried it would suck. CAROLINE: That’s sort of how it goes with Will Ferrell movies these days. RYAN: But I’m happy to say it’s not half bad. It’s a relatively decent performance from Will. His dialect is priceless! He alternates ..
RYAN: The Bourne trilogy was fantastic and you can’t really look at this movie without comparing it to those films. CAROLINE: That’s very understandable. And there’s no Matt Damon in this one. So how was it? RYAN: It’s ok but pretty jumbled and unoriginal. CAROLINE: Oh that’s sad. I was hoping, as I’m sure one ..
