Pain & Gain (2013)

Exactly what it meant to be - mindless. shallow, slick, expensive Hollywood drivel. Should have been 95 minutes, not 129. Although a lot of my time watching it was spent shaking my head at the stupidity, I can get myself in the right mood to watch this stuff from time to time.

Pain & Gain (2013)

For a dark comedy it was surprisingly devoid of laughs. Maybe the kind that meathead frat boys might chortle over, but that's about it. There was a good premise buried somewhere in there but it never came together.
