Owen Browning (Adam Devine) is a softy bank manager. He is marrying girlfriend Parker McDermott (Nina Dobrev) despite his parents (Richard Kind, Julie Hagerty) calling her a stripper. He is meeting her parents (Pierce Brosnan, Ellen Barkin) for the first time. Unbeknownst to him and Parker, her parents are a notorious bank robbing team. Agent Oldham (Michael Rooker) has been obsessively chasing them.
I don't always love Adam Devine, but I love him in this role. I love everyone at work making fun of him. I love him as the butt of the joke. It's his best position. I like that all four parents diminishes him although I want them to do more of it. Nina Dobrev is a bit of a blank although her character is stuck in a clueless loop. She needs to do more. Make her the superhero of the couple. The one false note is Lauren Lapkus. She's too mean. I can see why some would look down on this movie. It's too light to be taken seriously and kinda stupid. I laughed and that's the only measuring stick for a comedy.
