Nic Cage plays Nick Cage in a not-quite-real version of himself - along with "Nicky" - a much younger and more Wild at Heart version. Pedro Pascal is a the mega-fan who invites the struggling actor (in more ways than one) to Spain for a birthday party (and rather large paycheck) but soon the actor finds himself undercover trying to bring down a drug ring and rescue a kidnapped girl. It works surprisingly well as a meta-comedy that proves Cage can still have fun and be entertaining. If you're a fan of the actor at all, you'll have a good time.

For what it is, it’s decent, but man this could have been much better. I feel like it's missing something. I mean, imagine if this was directed by someone like Spike Jonze. Other than that, both Nicholas Cage and Pedro Pascal are entertaining together, so there's that.

Nicolas Cage is funny playing a riff on himself and his weird persona. Pedro Pascal is a good contrast in this buddy action comedy. While the film is light and goofy, I will admit it's not quite as funny as I was expecting. But I can see some brand-new memes about Nicolas Cage emerging from this movie.
