I get that the plot’s not supposed to be the star here, but when it’s written as lazily as it is (the villain’s motivations are completely absent, as is the romantic chemistry between Frank and Jane), its presence distracts from what is otherwise an appreciably large and creative collection of silly sequences (see the driving instructor during car chase), pointed one-liners (“just think: next time I shoot someone I could be arrested”) and ever-escalating side gags (see the baseball montage).
