Here's a comic look at a classic radio show about a young man turned avenger. Seth Rogen plays Britt Reid, son of a newspaper giant who recently passed away and bequeathed everything to Britt. Before his father's death, Britt was a typical rich kid slacker, hanging out and partying every night and simultaneously disappointing his father. Upon his death, Britt decides to fire everyone his father employed, not knowing that he also terminated his the guy who makes the best cup of coffee in the world. Asking for a favor, Britt asks Kato (Jay Chou) to show him how to make coffee. What Kato shows him is the coffee maker that he designed, Britt is astonished and Kato shows him everything that he created while employed by Britt's father.
After an evening out, they run into a little trouble and thoroughly enjoying the adrenaline rush that came along with it, they decide to become masked avengers, appearing to work on the dark side, but in all actuality they are trying to clean up the streets. Britt uses his newspaper to publicize his alter persona of The Green Hornet. They encounter lots of bad guys, learn about each other, loyalty and friendship along the way.
It is an entertaining film, but that is about it.
I give it a 6 out of 10.
Next up is "Cowboys and Aliens."
