Jaime Reyes returns to his family home after graduating with a degree in pre-law, looking forward to a break before heading to law school. However, upon his return he discovers his family (his mother & father, sister, nana, and his conspiracy theorist Uncle Rudy) is going through a rough time financially, and facing eviction. So, rather than going back to school, he ops to find work so he can assist his family.
While Jaime and his sister are working at a local resort, the lovely young Jenny Kord (whose family owns/operates ones of the largest corporations in world) catches his eye. After coming to her defense, and getting fired for his troubles, Jenny offers her number to him and how she may be able to get him a job with her family's company.
So the next day, Jaime goes to see Jenny Kord to inquire about a possible job. When he finds her, she appears rather stressed/panicked, and upon seeing Jaime, she hands him a box, telling him that his first job is to guard the contents of the box with his life, and not to open it.
Well,, these events lead Jaime Reyes down a path he, or his family, never saw coming.
After seeing the trailer, and hearing bad reviews, I was very much prepared to not like this movie at all. However, I really enjoyed it! It is in no way perfect or groundbreaking, but it is a good, fun movie. Very much a departure for DC (it didn't really feel like DC at all. At least not the one I'm used to. #restorethesnyderverse)
Family is very much at the heart of the movie, and that's a really wonderful thing to see. The cast is really good (George Lopez plays the cooky Uncle really well and brings lols).
There are cliches, and it is predictable, and there are some things said/eluded to that I didn't care for,, but all around it a fun ride, and I'd like to see a sequel.
