Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaRyan Reynolds was originally sought after for the lead male role, marking this a reunion with Sandra Bullock after The Proposal (2009) but a deal couldn't be reached.
- GoofsA reoccurring joke of criticizing a character for comparing another character to a "human mummy", is made by other characters, with them stating that "all mummies are human". This is false, as ancient Egyptians were known for mummifying animals (often the pets of the deceased) as well as humans, such as cats, dogs, birds, and snakes. So not all mummies are human.
However, all the other characters being wrong only shows that Alan is actually smarter than everybody likes to think. (Don't judge a mummy by its bandages.)

Featured review
Enjoyable and amusing
The first half of this movie is really funny. I was laughing more than most in the theater. There are so many well-written jokes and situational humor with about an 80% hit rate, including a few hilarious moments. The characters are fleshed out enough for me to care. The story is formulaic and relatively weak compared to the other aspects, but that's easily forgiven when it's making me laugh.
In the second half, the laughs slow down drastically. It gets a lot more serious with attempts at character arcs and story moments that aren't bad but are things we've seen a thousand times. I didn't hate watching it, but without as much comedy it's a much weaker movie.
The first half is easily seven stars. The second half is a weak six. I wouldn't mind watching this again but I wouldn't go out of my way to do so. (1 viewing, opening Thursday night 3/24/2022)
