Stuber is your generic, comedic buddy cop movie, in which a short tempered police officer recovering from eye surgery recruits an uber driver, aptly named 'Stu' to help him catch the bad guy, a heroin dealer who killed his partner.
Honestly, this film feels like it has been done a million times before in some capacity with so many buddy cop films circulating, and honestly being reused so often that frankly, it's exhausting. BUT - This review isn't going to be entirely negative. I didn't hate this film, it had it's one redeeming quality. Kumail Nanjiani. Don't get me wrong, Dave Bautista was fine, the relationship between the two characters was fine, but Kumail's character really stole the spotlight in ever scene with his sweet, positive personality, quick-wit and his characters anxiety about every situation he was found in, it really saved what was really a poorly executed film.
Overall, this review just feels like me sitting here complimenting Kumail Nanjiani, and honestly it might've been. But back to the point, I'd probably recommend this film based on Kumail's performance alone, so give it a watch to fill his wallet.
