Mark Wahlberg Steals Unexpected Comedic Spotlight Amid ‘2 Guns’ Bromance

HollywoodChicago.com Oscarman rating: 3.5/5.0
Rating: 3.5/5.0

CHICAGO – While you wouldn’t normally compare the new action/comedy “2 Guns” with the comedy “I Love You, Man,” really the only difference between what Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington are doing now versus what Paul Rudd and Jason Segel did in 2009 is that “2 Guns” uses crime as the means by which two grown men fall in love with one another.

‘The Green Hornet’ Overly Limelights a Cavalier But Thrilling Seth Rogen

HollywoodChicago.com Oscarman rating: 2.5/5.0
Rating: 2.5/5.0
