Stuber

 

Stuber is buddy cop action comedy starring Kumail Nanjiani & Dave Bautista. When Uber driver Stu, played by Nanjiani, picks up a passenger, played by Bautista, he has no idea that his life is about to change forever.

I thought that the plot was unique and fun and I liked the themes around manhood, family and the courage to stand up for yourself. The cinematography was well done and the action sequences were fast paced and entertaining.

I liked the diversity of the casting. Kumail Nanjiani & Dave Bautista had great chemistry. They worked well off of each other so no one person really felt like the star of this movie. It was easy to connect to both of their characters. I haven't seen Nanjiani in a lot of movies, but I really liked his deadpan comedic style. Additionally, I really enjoyed watching Bautista on screen. I feel like he gives me something different with every role he plays. He’s come a long way from the WWE.

Even though sometimes corny and predictable, this movie was well worth the watch. It was easy to follow and full of some funny memorable moments.
