BORING.
Yeah, I know, it's Samuel L. Jackson and Eugene Levy. It should be great. It's not. It manages to stay just this side of trite, but only just.
My advice? Make it a matinee... at the dollar theater... when there's nothing else to do... and you're trying to compromise with a friend who really really wants to see VENOM. If yall see THE MAN you'll both be unhappy and it's that kind of mutual suffering that really brings a relationship together.
