Review by David Jenkins @daveyjenkins

Directed by

Patrick Hughes

Starring

Ryan Reynolds Salma Hayek Samuel L Jackson

Anticipation.

This looks very, very, very silly. (In a bad way.)

Enjoyment.

This is very, very, very silly. (In a pretty okay way.)

In Retrospect.

But you’d never want to watch it again.

This potty-mouthed road trip from Coventry to The Hague stars Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L Jackson and some top comic bants.
