In high school, Calvin Joyner was deemed most likely to succeed, while the overweight Robbie Wheirdicht was the favourite target of bullies. 20 years later, Calvin is an unfulfilled accountant and Robbie a beefed up action man. This is a silly and derivative but rather enjoyable buddy comedy. Dwayne Johnson is seriously hamming it up in the early stages, but once he tones it down, he has good chemistry with Kevin Hart.
