By having John Cena in the film in one of the lead roles, there’s inherently something outright silly about the film.
Because really, how many suburban dads look like him?
The result, particularly towards the emotional third act, is a film with a big heart as well as some hearty gaffs.
But to the actor’s credit, he really leans into that silliness, playing the film’s premise up to the full extent while never making it too goofy or ludicrous for its own good.
