Watched it last night. Bit of a mixed bag for me. First off, the movie looked great. It felt 110% like a theatrical movie. Also, the cast was really likable. The main problem was that it just wasn't that funny. A lot of the humor just tries way too hard and winds up coming off like a 12 year old wrote it. Also, everything seemed to happen way too fast. It felt like they were only on the island for like 5 minutes then all of a sudden, everything goes to hell. There are a few subtle funny moments which are the ones that are most likely to make you laugh. JC again, is the highlight of the movie. I was worried that he was gonna try way too hard to be funny but I thought he did a good job. All in all though, it's decent but not great. It definitely needed some help in the writing department. I'll still be picking it up on blu for my collection and for the special features. Definitely enjoyed Enemies Closer more than this one though. 2.75/5
