Grade: B+ The movie is fun and hilarious and even sweet at times. It won’t win an Oscar but it won me over and that’s all I wanted. I am thoroughly impressed with Dax Shepard. I had no idea that he not only stared in the movie but also wrote it and directed it. I…

Grade: D+ I really enjoyed the first *Expendables*. It wasn’t a great movie by any means but for an action movie fan it was fun. But it was fun in a serious way.
