I watched this at a friend's house last weekend after we got pizza and I will say, it was a fun one. The structure of the movie turned out to be really cool, as at the end of the movie you realize there is a movie within a movie, as Nick and Javi did end up making a movie of their experiences. It was funny, but not too funny, as I felt the comedic aspect of it was not overdone or at all forced. The Paddington scene and the acid scene were both funny, but it wasn't too dramatic and crazy. It was a perfect balance between an action, and a comedy. The storyline was slightly wishy washy, but maybe it was supposed to be that way to help show how crazy Nick Cage's life is. It is about a mid-life crisis and what came of it. I liked him reminiscing to his old self, (in the Javi's shrine) but the scene were he kissed himself was weird. I didn't like it and I thought it wasn't funny and was creepy. The set design was really aesthetic and visually pleasing. I liked the cars and Javi's house and also the town, and I figured out it was filmed in Croatia. I personally thought it was a fun one, and it was enjoyable to watch. It definitely wasn't too special, and it didn't try to do too much for what it was. I'd give it a 8.8/10. A solid B- tier movie. It isn't a huge score as honestly it just wasn't my type of genre, as I like more sci-fi movies or ones with a lot of suspense, but it was still pretty good.
