Decent watch, probably won't watch again, but can recommend.
It does feel like this is made for a very specific audience, but it is all about how get past your past and make your future (somewhat) better.
The "main" story line seems to be a guy living a boring life is into Gillian Jacobs, which I totally get, but not when you have Maria Thayer at home. Even value, I would take snuggling up comfortably at home over a club any day.
It's the first time I've seen Kevin Hart play a smart character, and it turns arrogant character really fast.
It's also the first time I've seen Simon Helberg play a criminal, and I can't say it was very impressive, though he did do "crazy" well.
There are some great movies that cross multi-threaded stories, but this feels like the Kevin Hart and Old man robbers are just kind of tacked on. There just isn't enough interaction between the the stories.
It's worth a watch, but it's not "Snatch".
