Actors: Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen
Stewart, Topher Grace, Connie Britton, Walton Goggins, John Leguizamo, Bill
Pullman, Tony Hale
Rating: 8 out of 10, An action comedy
which had liberal doses of both. Jesse Eisenberg plays a stoned out loser in
West Virginia who also happens to be a deadly secret agent that Eric Forman and
Boyd Crowder are trying to kill. Coach Taylor’s wife comes to the rescue in
time to semi-activate Eisenberg from his sleeper state and hijinks ensue. It
was nice to see Kristen Stewart leave her Bella state of perpetual pout and
truly engage as the girlfriend with real on screen chemistry with Eisenberg.
This could have been something really special if they played up the comedy a
little more but they got sucked into too much time with the bad guys instead of
the Eisenberg-Stewart pairing. All in all though, a lot better than you’ve
probably heard with some laugh out loud moments as Eisenberg keeps accidently
killing highly trained assassins.
MVP: Eisenberg as the befuddled but
very dangerous Mike
