Editor Jonathan Schwartz shaped the rhythm. On an edit-heavy film, the editor does more to control your pulse than the director.

If you’re looking for fun little date night movie, a night out with friends or a fun way to kill 90 minutes, ‘Stuber’ is the perfect film. It doesn’t reach comedy heights, but thanks to its leads it’s a very fun sit. - Chris dos Santos Read Chris' full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-stuber-an-uber-fun-90-minutes-but-little-more

Fun buddy flick that did make me chuckle a few times but on the other hand nothing special. However it's light-hearted and makes for a breezy film to sit through thanks to both Nanjiani and Baudista. 3.25/5

Weirdly long ad. Started out... Not good, but, promising, maybe? Got worse the further it went, and was basically garbage by the closing moments. Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product.
