Run of the mill movie. Nothing surprising, not enough balance between the "The Rock-Action" and the comedic "Hart-part". Hart was too much at times and pushing the scenes. That type of humor where the actor is at 200%, talking nonstop, not listening to logic/reason to create a "humorous", misunderstood reaction scene (i.e. couple therapy scene). It failed more often than not and was tiring as well.

Story was done ad nauseam already, so was the uneven-duo. Characters aren't sufficiently explored, it's a simple kid got bullied and turned himself around, most popular kid got a "boring", "standard" adult life and longs for more excitement story. It never goes beyond this. It's not even a brainless action movie type because it clearly tries to be a very cheesy, trope-driven action "comedy" making you cringe. The true villain and "his" story is a joke and predictable, yet again something that was done ad nauseam. Typical case of a famous actor who won't just be in this to get killed off after being seen in one or two scenes (filmmakers should start doing this to fool the audience).
Even though the reference to another show he was in and the other cameo was nice.
It's not an entirely unentertaining movie, though. But it has nothing really going for it that would make me say you need to watch this, there's nothing worthwhile. It's probably a movie that is only for Dwayne Johnson die-hard fans.

@sushubh Reference: [spoiler]Aaron Paul's famous "Bitch!" in one scene was an unexpected reference to Breaking Bad.[/spoiler]<br /> Cameo: [spoiler]Melissa McCarthy at the end at the party being the girl Dwayne's character had a crush on back in school, who's uncredited for this movie[/spoiler].<br /> That were nice surprises for me and gave the movie at least two scenes I was able to enjoy (as I don't dislike that cameo person as many people do). :)
