How's it stack up against Money Plane?

Trying to figure out if this is “terrible but still a fun way to pass the time” or just terrible.

This felt like an Oceans movie in the sense that I immediately got the impression the filmmakers and cast were probably just traveling the world on someone else's dime.

Netflix is getting super good at the "it's fine" genre of action comedies.

Can confirm, terrible but fun!

"Terrible but fun" kind of sums it up. Happily, I figured out early on that, okay, it's a live-action cartoon with cartoon tech and cartoon physics and stuff, so here we go.

Too much exposition for something that's supposed to be fun.
