Rolling Stone's 489th greatest album of all time
Oh dear me. This truly was dreadful in my opinion, just a few heavy rock songs about being in a rock band, then a slow sex song for the ladies, and then back to more mindless rock. In theory this should have been a treat for me but it was a real bad listen. It reminded me so much of Vic and Bob in this scene that I just couldn't take it seriously:

A light comedy antidote to the drama heavy Endgame (1 more)
Jake Gyllenhaal hamming it up.
Where does Marvel go after the enormous success of “Avengers: Endgame“? The answer is a joyous comedy romp with your friendly neighbourhood Spider-man. His school trip to Europe was never going to be without incident, but who'd have expected Jake Gyllenhaal to rock up as a new superhero? A good blast of family popcorn fun.

When we get those High School reminder cards in the mail or messages on social media, many of us disregard them because we don’t want to relive the past due to our geekiness, bullying, or awkward moments that we all go through. Some of us avoid them altogether because we don’t want to be reminded of the possibilities that existed with youth if we had not lived up to them. In Central Intelligence, Calvin Joyner (Kevin Hart) is tackling the malaise and mundanity that comes with adulthood.
He doesn’t feel as though his life panned out quite like he hoped it would have when he graduated. He was elected “most likely to succeed” and the most popular kid in school, however, those accolades did not translate into “Real World” success. He is contacted by a former classmate, Bob (Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson) and is quickly involved in a web of international espionage. Johnson and Hart’s chemistry rivals that of Wilder and Pryor.
The timing and freshness to the humor keeps the film moving without any lulls or without the moments being forced. The entire movie is fun and allows for audiences to have a new comedic duo that they can look forward to in the future. Central Intelligence allows us to laugh at ourselves and the reflect on the absurdities associated with trying to relive the “glory days” of our youth.
