When the spy film moves closer to a family comedy, this is not a cross-border behavior. It not only takes care of the action scenes with driving force, but also considers whether the emotional line is inlaid flawlessly. "Spy" as this "absurd" type of film, both of them want to appropriate their own style, which seriously loses the style they should have. The series and connection of the action plot and the comedy content make the film look extremely embarrassing and blunt. The turning point of , the performance of the weekend couple's variety show, except for the gorgeous camera picture, seems to be useless.

The film strives to show and improve the dramatic tension under the routine by being cute and cheap, but the normality of the popcorn-style plot only seems weak, and compared with the same type of film "Ace Powers: Greensby", it is in the dirt. The former is far less than the latter in terms of the amount of stalks, and it goes without saying that the bottomless plot setting is more able to attract the audience's attention. And the former's "cheap" is not only lost on the performance of the colorful adult jokes, the shaping and characterization of the main characters are the top priorities under the "absurd", Sasha Baron Cohen and Zach Galli. In contrast, Fanakis obviously has more serious limitations in the play of the American nonsensical dramatic style, as well as the monotony and paleness under the symbol.


People rely on clothing, commodities rely on packaging, and bad films rely on their looks to build up confidence like glass. As far as the film is concerned, Gal Gadot's tender body and white thighs have successfully created and enhanced the watchability of the film, whether it is sexy dress, or a delicious face, making the movie "The Powers Next Door". "In the case that the plot is already like stagnant water, it can continue to maintain a sense of freshness and a certain amount of heat, which is undoubtedly not a physical visual success. When selling hues has gradually become a new economic means in the trend of Hollywood's bubble, movies only provide physiological needs, and what else can they use to carry the food of human spirit.

As far as the domestic film market is concerned, works with more obvious grading seem to be a private existence that is unwilling to be disclosed, and it is also the main culprit that causes editors to work overtime. As a film that involves the so-called bottom line, it often undergoes a kind of wanton transformation like a prisoner through labor. Apart from the serious reduction in the length of the film, the deletion of important plots and the intentional reshaping of lines are its biggest highlights, and it is very social. The embodiment of the positive energy of ideology, obviously "Power Next Door" is no exception. Such a profound behavior seems to be resisting vulgarity and violence, but it ultimately destroys the survival and development of the cinema chain of the translated film, and for the audience, it destroys the viewing experience abruptly.

The friend on the right is too exposed

The film is based on the TV husband and wife column. The documentary of the love between the two families perfectly mobilized the emotional changes of the audience. In addition, Bai Huahua's Victoria's Secret show shot, and the family and spy war elements have long been thrown by director Greg Mottola. Beyond Cloud Nine is instead a discussion of how a couple develops a romantic relationship, with an unusual brushstroke that culminates in a must-have Valentine's Day date film. All in all, Hollywood's unchanging routines and models will eventually drive itself into a corner, and popcorn movies, as the vanguard, will eventually meet their wishes and die.

    Uh, have you been out of touch with the critics recently?== I think it’s good to sit in the cinema and watch this kind of movie after a busy week. The actors are chosen so well, Zach and Isla are responsible for the funny, Uncle Ham and Gal (her wife is so beautiful!) are responsible for acting cool and handsome. There is also the cute PattonOswalt. And the most important thing is to get rid of the absurd actions and comedies. For a moment later, I actually felt very moved.

    The more regular American comedy, the beautiful Gal Gadot and the handsome Jon Hamm, represent the imaginary and vision of ordinary couples for a better life
