'72 Hours' Review: Kevin Hart's Mediocre 'Hangover' Knockoff Undermined by Crime Subplot

The comedy 72 Hours, starring Kevin Hart and directed by Tim Story (Barbershop, Ride Along), is a mediocre retread of The Hangover written by the Harold & Kumar and American Reunion writers. Critics say a crime subplot quickly derails what might have been an average comedy. The film is seen as a weak entry in a genre already short on genuinely great comedies.
