STUBER from 20TH CENTURY FOX. According to "The Numbers" that tracks box office receipts. "Stuber" garnered $22,370,452 at the North American box office. It grabbed $7,264,317 at the Foreign box office. The world-wide total hit $29,634,769. The production budget climbed to $16,000,000.
Mini-Review. The movie "cliches" are all here. A police detective is married to his job who ignores his daughter. His partner is killed by a notorious drug dealer. The detective is thrown off the case by his boss. He runs into a straight-laced "uber" driver who is in love with a friend who doesn't know he exists. The detective and the driver go after the drug dealer in one crazy night.
The lead role is named "Stu" (Kumail Ali Nanjiani) who is a Pakistani-American. Kumail is a known comedian who has a few funny moments. Unfortunately, we've seen this before in so many cop-buddy films. I was mildly amused....
