Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who wants a laugh, action fans and families. If you loved Hot Fuzz or Bad Boys: Ride or Die, start here.
The mood: Light and funny, feel-good.
The pace: Fast-moving, at 1 hr 35 min.
What might put you off: Rated PG-13: peril. Probably too much for younger kids.
