There have been a lot of wrestlers turned actors, but only a few have really made that great transition into something more. Dave Bautista is one of those guys that brings a great physical presence, but also that special something to all of his roles. When not playing in the Marvel sandbox as Drax he is taking on a variety of films including drama, martial arts and comedy. His latest Stuber teams him up with a great cast including Kumail Nanjiani, Iko Uwais, Natalie Morales, Betty Gilpin, Jimmy Tatro, Mira Sorvino, Karen Gillan with Goon director Micahel Dowse at the helm, but does it bring the comedy and action as promised or will it fail to get a five star rating?

 

Stuber follows a mild-mannered Uber driver named Stu that picks up a passenger who turns out to be a cop hot on the trail of a brutal killer, he's thrust into a harrowing ordeal where he desperately tries to hold onto his wits, his life and his five-star rating. Anytime a new comedy comes out, I’m always wondering is it really going to be funny?  It’s been years since something has really made me laugh. Perhaps it’s because nothing is funny anymore, or perhaps I’ve just gotten older and more jaded.   Whatever the reason, I was really looking forward to and feeling very hopeful about this film. 

 

So as the movie started, I was anxiously awaiting the first funny moment. I am so excited to say, that this movie is full of laugh out loud moments. I absolutely enjoyed seeing Dave Bautista be amazingly funny. Because of his stature, he automatically seems big and menacing and a bit larger than life, so seeing him be handicapped and vulnerable, and having that be used in a very funny way, makes for some really good laughs. Most of us already know that Kumal Nanjiani Is funny and in this movie we get to see a lot more physical comedy which I really enjoyed. The chemistry between these two main characters is also played really well; bringing together complete opposite’s and funny situations.
