Jamie Demetriou, Glenn Close, Cameron Diaz, and Jamie Foxx in Back in Action.

I’m a self-proclaimed Cameron Diaz diehard. In addition to watching The Holiday every year, wishing I could be one of Charlie’s Angels, and firmly believing that My Best Friend’s Wedding has one of the best openings of all time , I also think Bad Teacher and The Other Woman are both criminally underrated comedic gems, am a staunch defender of 2014 Annie, and think they should make as many Shrek movies as they want, thank you very much.

'Back in Action's PG-13 Rating Hurts It My first impression of Back in Action from its synopsis and trailers was, “This sounds like Spy Kids from the parents’ perspective.

The emotional elements fare even worse. While there’s no doubt that Back in Action has assembled an excellent cast, even they can’t manage to add much dimension or complexity. You know exactly who all of these characters are from the moment you meet them, and they never evolve beyond stereotype. Even the supposed depth they showcase is predictable and reads as nothing more than a convenient plot device.
