Paul Feig's change of pace from broad comedy to thriller is a shambles, saved by the passion of the two leads. Anna Kendrick's single mother meets ballsy businesswoman Blake Lively and the two become unlikely friends. Until Lively disappears and Kendrick starts to investigate and discovers the truth about her friend. This is a film that doesn't know what it wants to be: a comedy, a thriller, a mystery and femme fatale. Sometimes it will change genre in the middle of a scene. Yet the whole thing is an enjoyable mess.

What a shame. This so-called comedy about a wise-cracking Kevin Hart having to attend night school in order to get his high school qualification and coming face-to-face with tough teacher Tiffany Haddish. This film's heart is in the right place, yet the humour is few and far between and even though the leads give it everything they have, it cannot save the limp and cliched script. However, it does treat learning difficulties with respect and it's gender politics are heading in the right direction.
