It’s kind of sad, really.
Not what I’d usually write to describe a slapstick comedy action adventure. But watching “The Out-Laws,” I was truly bummed out that this Netflix original would turn out to be so lazy, formulaic, loud and unfunny, given that director Tyler Spindel’s previous effort was the hilarious and underrated black comedy gem “The Wrong Missy,” and the greatly talented and likable cast here includes Adam DeVine, Nina Dobrev, Michael Rooker, Lil Rel Howery, Lauren Lapkus, Poorna Jagannathan, Ellen Barkin, Pierce Brosnan, Julie Hagerty and Richard Kind, I mean come on! You assemble such an eclectic and intriguing group, and then they’re stuck in a broad and dopey rom-com sit-com with a Laugh Producing Batting Average in the low .200s. Swing and a miss.
