    The Reunion has no pretensions of originality, and maybe that's just fine. It's relaxing to watch formula roll in front of you if that formula is engaged with affection, and that's the case here, much to the credit of the writer and director, Mike Pavone.

    Cena handles rough stuff like a pro, and his poker-faced wisecracking isn't bad. But he probably shouldn't quit his day job.

    The resultant smorgasbord is a misshapen mess, short on humor, tension, or chemistry among its bickering protagonists.

    I think it was a pretty good movie. John Cena is a much better actor that some of the other wrestlers that have tried! Compared to others I have seen lately, it has a little of everything in it, action, humor, and a story line. Expand
