The Slapstick Saturation Point The latest release from Netflix, 72 Hours , has all the makings of a comedy classic: a charismatic lead in Kevin Hart, a talented young cast, and a premise that promises to tackle the complexities of intergenerational relationships.
However, what transpires is a messy, unfunny farce that squanders its potential with a reliance on cheap gags and tired stereotypes.
The film's protagonist, Joe (Hart), is a 40 year old marketing executive struggling to connect with his younger colleagues.
