- Who'll love it
- Made for fans of a well-timed joke. Easy company after a long day.
- The mood
- Light and funny.

- Breezy, at 1 hr 29 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
What should have been a romantic getaway turns into one hilarious debacle after another when Michael's woman dumps him in the desert where he gets carjacked by a teenager and he is taken hostage in a stickup at the local Sip and Zip.
