Dax Shepard does an amazing job in this film. He directed, wrote, and starred in this film. It has a smart sense of humor with a story line. I was entertained by the story of having to rush off for Annie Bean (Kristine Bell) to make her job interview in LA. Although she has this momentous opportunity that is career and life changing, Charles Bronson (Dax Shepard) Annie boyfriend's past gets in the way of making this an easy trip. Alex Dmitri (Bradley Cooper), Neve (Joy Bryant) were Charles crime buddies, Alex went to jail and Neve used to be his fiance. They find out where Charles is thanks to Annie's ex boyfriend Gil (Michael Rosenbaum) who still believe that him and Annie belonged together. This doesn't end the crazy train, Charles witness protection officer Sanders (David Koechner).
This crazy train doesn't end here. First Sanders is introduced by him getting out of his car that's not parked, it heads down then road and he's chasing after it shooting his gun. The neighbor kids are playing in the front yard and his mini van almost runs them over. This just introduces you to the ridiculousness you're about to experience. If you liked Fast and Furious you would enjoy this. Combine that with Dukes of Hazard, well at least those are the only movie combinations that I could possibly think as a combination for this.
Writing, directing, and staring in this movie wasn't a terrible idea or job. The cast seemed like closet friend. Kristen Bell - fiance, Joy Bryant - co-stare and wife of show Parenthood, now where Michale, Dax, and David came from they could be other connections to being in the same industry. It's good to have friends that can help when it comes time to bringing a project to life.
